Audioscan Verifit - Skull Simulator
The Verifit Skull Simulator by Audioscan offers an innovative approach to verifying the functionality of bone-anchored hearing devices (BAHD). This system addresses traditional verification challenges by employing a sophisticated Speechmap environment and DSL-BCD targets to objectively measure device performance. It utilizes Force Level with vibrational transforms to simulate the mechanical impedance of the human head, translating vibrations into electrical signals for precise analysis. Users can connect the device to the Verifit system via a test box coupler microphone connection and perform Speechmap-based verification to ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications. Additionally, it evaluates adaptive features, directional microphone performance, and noise reduction without requiring additional power or connections. Compatible with various Verifit systems, it minimizes the guesswork traditionally involved in BAHD fittings for healthcare professionals.
Verifit Skull Simulator comes with a powerful new Speechmap® environment!
You will immediately notice that we have created a specialized new Speechmap environment. It uses Force Level (FL) with appropriate vibrational transforms to represent the dynamic range of the patient.
When used in combination with the new DSL-BCD targets for bone conduction devices integrated into Speechmap, you can objectively verify that appropriate levels of audibility are provided across frequencies for various speech input levels.
You can also ensure each device is functioning appropriately relative to manufacturer’s specifications.

The Verifit Skull Simulator is easy to use
Simply connect the skull simulator to the test box coupler microphone connection of your Verifit professional verification system, attach the abutment-based BAHD, select ‘BAHD’ from the instrument-type drop-down menu and conduct Speechmap-based verification as you would with traditional hearing aids.
More good news! You do not need additional power, connections or software licenses.
How does the Verifit Skull Simulator work?
The Verifit Skull Simulator is an electronic coupler that simulates the mechanical impedance of the human head. It converts vibrations from the attached BAHD into electrical signals which are then received and displayed by the Verifit.
