How do I do a daily calibration on my occupational health audiometer?
Every year when your audiometer is calibrated a new baseline audiogram should be run. Your daily calibration is compared to that baseline audiogram. It needs to be within 10 dB at every testing frequency.
Is a self-check part of the daily calibration?
Yes, before you run your baseline audiogram a person should put on the headset. They should present tones and manipulate the headset cables to ensure there is not any static or intermittency.
