Reply to comment by Muttywango in Audiologist headphones for music? by minnesotajersey

Sure hope not- it probably violates their professional standards. Audiometers are manufactured for use with specific headphones which are standardized across the medical field.

Not a joke, I recognised them when I entered the room. I saw the labelling on the cup.

Audiology practice requires audiometric devices, medical devices are controlled by specifications, those headphones aren’t in the US specifications. Audiologists might use a different headphone, it might even be reasonably accurate, but it’s outside the standards of practice for their profession, possibly not covered by their malpractice insurance. I included the weasel words because the specifications are different elsewhere in the world.
