iPad audiometer
Run annual audiograms with your own tester, on an iPad audiometer built to ANSI S3.6-2025 specifications. Every result lands in AudiVault for baseline comparison and STS review.
How a test runs
Scan the barcode on a driver's license to pull up the employee, or search by name, employee ID or department.
The app reminds the tester when the daily listening check is overdue or the annual calibration has expired.
Instructions display in the employee's language. The tester runs the threshold search, marking each tone heard or not heard.
The tester reviews every frequency before submitting. Results go straight to the employee's record in AudiVault.
Calibration
OSHA Appendix E asks for a functional check before each day of testing and an acoustic calibration every year. The app builds both into the tester's routine.
A 10-point checklist covering cords, cushions, headband, tone quality, controls, masking and room quiet. Testers are reminded when it's overdue.
Play reference tones at each frequency, enter Type 1 sound level meter readings, and see pass or fail for level and frequency accuracy. Corrections are applied automatically.
As-found and as-left readings for both earphones, with the calibration date carried onto every test record for OSHA 1910.95(m).
Test controls
Your organization sets the test protocol once in AudiVault: step sizes, frequency order, retest rules and instruction languages. Every iPad follows it.
Narrowband noise centered on the test frequency, white noise or speech-weighted noise, set in 5 dB steps. Masking levels are saved with each response.
Choose the stimulus that suits the employee. Tones use smooth 20 ms rise and fall times to avoid clicks.
A warning at 100 dB HL and above, timers for long stays on one frequency, a system volume check and an emergency mute.
After the test
Results from the iPad go straight into AudiVault, where the compliance work happens.

Standards & compliance
The AudioMeter iPad audiometer is built to ANSI S3.6-2025 audiometer specifications*, and AudiVault supports OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 hearing conservation programs.
Generated test signals are verified by automated conformance tests.
* Accuracy depends on annual calibration of the iPad with its wired headset by a trained technician. ANSI S3.6 conformance of the complete system is established by that calibration.
AudiVault is for occupational hearing conservation programs. It is not intended for medical diagnosis.
It's built to ANSI S3.6-2025 audiometer specifications, the standard OSHA 1910.95 Appendix C points to, and it tests the required frequencies of 500 through 6000 Hz in each ear. Conformance of the complete system is established by annual calibration of the iPad with its wired headset by a trained technician. Your program also needs a qualified tester, a test room within the Appendix D noise limits, and calibration on the Appendix E schedule.
Tester-controlled. A trained tester presents each tone and marks whether the employee heard it. The app handles the threshold search steps (10 dB down after a response, 5 dB up after none) and runs a 1 kHz retest to check reliability.
You need a space where background noise stays under the OSHA Appendix D limits. That can be a booth or an existing quiet room that measures under the limits. The app does not measure room noise, so check the room with a sound level meter.
The app includes ANSI S3.6 reference levels for TDH-39 headphones, RadioEar DD450 headphones and ER-3A insert earphones (HA-2 or HA-1 coupler). You calibrate the specific earphones you test with.
A trained technician plays reference tones from the app and measures them with a Type 1 sound level meter (ANSI/ASA S1.4). The app checks each frequency for level (±3 dB up to 5 kHz, ±5 dB above) and frequency accuracy (within 1%), and keeps an annual calibration record with as-found and as-left readings for both earphones (ANSI S3.6 §9.6.1).
Yes. AudiVault imports results from other audiometers by CSV, so you can move to the iPad audiometer on your own schedule while keeping one record for each employee.
