Testing

The unit was tested with a fresh battery and produces audible tones through the earpiece. This was a basic functional test only.

No calibrated test equipment was used to verify the precise frequency or decibel output. The 1997 calibration sticker is historical and does not represent current certification or calibration.

Cosmetic condition

The audiometer remains in good overall vintage condition. There is normal age-related wear, including discoloration, small marks, scratches and wear to the case and faceplate. The case hardware, controls, cord and earpiece are present.

The internal electronics were also photographed while the battery was being installed. Please inspect all photographs closely, as they are part of the description.

Important notice

This item is being sold strictly as a vintage collectible, display piece, educational artifact or restoration instrument. It is not represented as currently calibrated and is not intended for medical diagnosis, professional hearing screening or clinical use.
