Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT™)

Evaluate a patients auditory perception in challenging acoustic environments

ACT™ is a supplemental test to the audiogram and assesses the quality of hearing in noisy situations. A common reason for patients to visit a hearing professionals is their ability to hear well in noise. It utilises a custom stimulus making it a personalised experience for each individual. The test is language and dialect independent, so suitable for all patients. This additional test is fast and easy to perform, on average taking between 2-3 minutes to complete.
