Carina Avenant Audiologist Inc. is a privately owned audiology 
practice situated in Medforum Hospital, Pretoria.  The director of the

firm, Carina Avenant, has extensive theoretical and clinical experience

in Audiology.  Miss Avenant has post graduate degrees and is still

involved in the tertiary training of students in this field.  The company

was established in 2013 and strive to help patients of all age-groups to

hear better and optimise their communication abilities.  All

audiologists employed, are registered with the Health Professions

Council of South Africa.

 

Although the main practice is situated in Medforum Medi-clinic, we

also boast a mobile unit.  We are in the fortunate position to have a

KUDUwave audiometer which eliminates the need for a soundproof

booth.

 

The KUDUwave Mobile Clinical Diagnostic Audiometer has built-in

sound blocking capabilities that are comparable to those of a high

performance, industry standard, screening sound booth.

 

 

It’s built in sound blocking feature called the Ambidome attenuates

noise similar or even better than traditional sound proof booths. 
Furthermore the KUDUwave monitors the environmental noise 
constantly in real time. This ensures that whenever a tone is 
presented, the environmental noise levels are quiet enough so as not

to compromise the test results. The operator is alerted when the

noise in the background is too loud for compliant testing.

 

This unit allows us to provide services to environments or individuals

who might find it difficult to access audiological services through

ordinary avenues.  The need for high quality audiological equipment

as well as good competencies is acknowledged, but these services

must be provided on the foundation of excellent interpersonal skills.

 The audiologists involved in the practise understand that service

provision necessitates extreme respect, patience as well as extra time

and loving care.
