Welch Allyn AM 282 Audiometer

The Welch Allyn AM 282 Compact Audiometer is a portable screening instrument built for clinicians who need dependable hearing assessment without the bulk of a full audiometric booth. Designed for physician offices, occupational health programs, school nurses, and pediatric practices, this manual audiometer delivers accurate air-conduction testing across a wide frequency range in a lightweight package that travels easily between exam rooms or worksites.

The AM 282 tests across 11 frequencies from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz, covering the full speech and diagnostic range needed for routine screening and hearing conservation checks. Each unit ships with its headset and a carry case (model 28200), so you have everything required to begin testing out of the box. The intuitive manual controls let you adjust frequency and intensity quickly, making it well suited to high-volume screening days where speed and repeatability matter.

Buyers considering this instrument often ask how it fits their setting. Because it's a screening audiometer rather than a clinical diagnostic unit, it's ideal for identifying patients who need referral to an audiologist, meeting occupational hearing conservation requirements, and performing school or pre-employment screenings. Its compact footprint and included case make it practical for mobile clinics and multi-site programs where the same device is shared across locations.

To keep results reliable, the AM 282 should be used in a quiet environment and calibrated on the schedule recommended for audiometric equipment. Routine annual calibration helps ensure your screenings stay compliant with hearing conservation standards.
