Problem
Many organizations and hearing care providers rely on bulky, sound‑booth equipment and manual test protocols, which are costly, require trained staff, and limit the ability to conduct large‑scale or remote audiometric assessments.
Solution
SHOEBOX offers a suite of iPad‑based audiometry solutions that enable pure‑tone, speech, and bone conduction testing without a sound booth.

By digitizing the entire testing process, SHOEBOX reduces equipment costs, streamlines data management, and improves the speed of lead generation for hearing services.
