SIBELSOUND was designed exclusively to be used by health professionals, under a doctor's supervision and training.
Users are recommended to have been trained in audiometry techniques. Users should familiarize themselves with the operation of
the equipment before using it with patients. All the information necessary for operation is available in this User Manual.

SIBELSOUND is suitable for patients older than 4 years, with a physical and mental level that allows them to wear the headphones
or the vibrator, and able to use the patient's response button or to give indications to the technician, using gestures, about their
auditory perceptions.

1.3. USE LIMITATIONS. CONTRAINDICATIONS

The tests must be interpreted by a doctor, and only a doctor can indicate the treatment to be applied. The health professional must
take into account the patient's symptoms before performing an audiometric test. The acceptability of a test is the responsibility of
the health professional. The audiometer must not be used when the validity of the results might be compromised by external factors.
Audiometry tests require the patient's cooperation; the patient needs to press a warning button when they detect stimuli.
The doctor needs to assess the patient's ability to undergo the audiometry test. Special attention must be paid to children,
elderly people, and disable patients.
The EN ISO 8253-1 standard specifies certain requirements on the environmental noise conditions when performing audiometric
tests. It is recommended to install the audiometer with a soundproof booth for the audiometric tests, or to adapt noise-canceling
devises in the headphones, so that the validity of the results is not compromised. Please, refer to the booth user manual to connect
the audiometer, or to the instructions for the noise canceling device.
