1. Does Ultimate Kiosk diagnose hearing issues?
No. Our Hearing Screening Solutions are triage devices only and do not diagnose.
2. How do the Hearing Screening Solutions provide hearing triage?
Using a pure tone screening protocol to establish an audiogram the level of hearing then classifies the results by pattern of hearing using algorithms (polynomials) and confidence coefficients.
The classifications are determined by level and pattern
Levels: Normal, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Profound
Patterns: Conductive, Sensorineural, Mixed and Questionable
3. What are confidence coefficients?
The Confidence Coefficients are an estimate of the accuracy of this pure tone level and pattern without the availability of other important information: the history, physical examination and tests. The confidence coefficients will almost always improve when further testing, a history and a physical examination are carried out.
4. How many times can I test myself?
Test as many times as you wish, then decide on next steps by tracking your results.
5. Are the results private and confidential?
All Ultimate Kiosk hearing assessment tests are private and confidential to the end user.
6. Can I track my results over months/years?
Yes. End users can track their hearing changes through repeat testing.
7. Is the backend database secure?
Ultimate Kiosk uses an industry standard secure backend database for storage of clients.
8. Once I complete a test is my information automatically sent to an audiologist for follow-up purposes?
No. End users are given an OP-IN or OPT-OUT option for further contact once the assessment is complete.
9. Is security a priority at Ultimate Kiosk?
Yes. We use Industry and Professional standard hardware and software to ensure security and stability.

Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and hearing loss are health risks each of us face. As we are all aware, those risks increase with every year we manage to stay alive. Now, and perhaps not surprisingly, research is finding that some of those risks are related. In particular, a large cohort study published this month makes it clear that some hearing losses may stem from development of diabetes in young and middle aged adults.
A billion people have diminished lives due to the cost and stigma of in-ear devices. The solution? Bring prices down and style up. Glasses are cool, hearing aids are not. Eyeglass frames in countless varieties are popular fashion statements. Beige earplugs aren't a fashion statement people want to make, and...

PHOENIX - At the audiology Now! convention here last week, visitors stood next to blowing electrics fans to experience how a new hearing aid could screen out wind noise. They donned goggles to attend a virtual relity dinner party to learn how new technology made it easier to hear conversations around them.
I'm writing this article as an outlier in the hearing instrument industry - someone who has been involved with the development of better hearing testing and assessment technologies for years, but not directly with hands-on dispensing.
