Assisted mode allows for faster, operator-assisted testing of patients who may be less comfortable self-testing in automated mode. In assisted mode, the test is still automated, but the test administrator administers the test to the patient instead of the patient performing the test on their own.
To use assisted mode
Tap the Play Tone button to present a tone.
If the patient indicates having heard a tone, tap Heard.
If the patient gives no indication of having heard a tone, tap Not Heard.
Tips for using assisted mode:
Have the patient face away from you and the iPad. The patient should not be able to see the iPad screen or your movements to present the tones.
Instruct the patient to indicate only when they hear a tone.
Vary the time between when you present tones. Try waiting for an extra second here and there, so the patient doesn’t notice a rhythm.
| Note: The test will start in assisted mode if the Test Type Game Theme is set to assisted mode. You can also access assisted mode during the test by tapping the Pause button and then tapping Review Results. In the bottom-right corner, tap Assisted Mode to enable assisted mode. |
