About
Audioscan is a division of Etymonic Design Incorporated and a trusted name in hearing care, delivering Real Ear Measurement (REM) and test box verification systems designed to optimize hearing aid fittings. Their flagship product, the Verifit2, offers advanced real ear measurements with time-saving features like Verifit LINK — an auto-REM fit-to-target tool that integrates seamlessly with hearing instrument software. The Axiom system provides an affordable, high-quality alternative for professionals who need accurate on-ear and test box measurements without specialized testing requirements. A standout innovation is the Probe GUIDE+, which uses machine learning and computer vision to continuously track probe tube placement in real time, dramatically improving the ease and accuracy of hearing aid verification. For BAHA (bone-anchored hearing aid) fittings, the Verifit Skull Simulator combined with DSL-BCD 2.0 targets brings objective measurement to a historically subjective process. Audioscan also supports professionals through its Noah Module integration, Remote Console software, and a robust library of educational resources. More than 15 CEU-accredited live workshops are offered across North America each year, keeping audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at the forefront of best practices. Audioscan's tools are built for hearing clinics, audiology practices, and hearing instrument dispensers seeking measurable, patient-centered outcomes.
