- Over-the-ear high-frequency evaluation headphones for air conduction testing
- TotalExam® camera with otoscope attachment for tympanic image capture
- Distance measuring device for RIK measurements

Organized Transport Design
Custom foam device inserts keep equipment secure during transport, while the hands-free mobility design enables providers to deliver diagnostic-quality hearing care at any patient location.
Easy Connectivity
The system is USB-powered and includes all necessary equipment within the backpack. For real-time virtual visits, an internet connection is required. For store-and-forward assessments, results can be captured offline and transmitted when connectivity is available.

Success Story
The Veteran Administration Connects Veterans to Audiology
Addressing Critical Access Gap for 2.7 million Veterans
The VA deployed GlobalMed's Transportable Audiology Backpack to address a critical access gap for the 2.7 million Veterans currently receiving disability benefits for tinnitus and hearing loss, the top two service-connected disabilities. Veterans in rural areas now complete self-administered hearing and speech tests at local Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), even without an audiologist on-site. The automated system collects diagnostic data and ear images into a single report transmitted to remote audiologists who evaluate results, order hearing aids, or schedule additional testing. This teleaudiology program eliminates hours-long drives to specialist appointments while ensuring Veterans receive timely hearing healthcare.
