In pediatric audiology, even the smallest interruption can impact the accuracy of a Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) test. That’s why Flex VRA includes a simple way to protect your on-screen controls from curious little hands—perfect for clinics where the touchscreen might be within a child’s reach.
The Problem
During pediatric hearing tests, young patients are naturally drawn to bright, interactive displays. A single accidental tap can bring up menus, alter settings, or interrupt the flow of your VRA session.
The Solution
With Flex VRA’s Service Menu Access setting, you can lock down the touchscreen so that the on-screen menu only appears with a deliberate long press in the top-left corner.
Accidental touches are ignored—no more sudden menu pop-ups during testing.
Only trained staff can access settings, ensuring every visual reinforcement audiometry session runs smoothly.
How to Enable Touchscreen Lock in Flex VRA
Go to the Setup Menu on your Flex VRA system.
Find Service Menu Access.
Change the setting to long touch on top-left corner.
Press "Play VRA" Button.
