Vision and Hearing Screening Tools for Health Programs
Vision and hearing screening covers the charts, devices and consumables used to screen visual acuity and hearing in school health, occupational health, pediatric and primary care programs. The category includes distance and near acuity charts, occluders, color vision tests, screening audiometers and tympanometers, and the disposable ear tips those devices use. Products are stocked for schools, clinics, occupational health services and licensed distributors.
Vision and Hearing Screening Products Stocked
- Distance acuity charts - Snellen, tumbling E and LEA symbol charts in wall and projected formats for standard testing distances.
- Near vision cards - Handheld near-point acuity cards and reading charts for close-range assessment.
- Color vision tests - Ishihara and pseudoisochromatic plate books for color discrimination screening.
- Occluders and accessories - Handheld occluders, pinhole occluders and occlusion glasses for monocular testing.
- Screening audiometers - Portable pure-tone screening audiometers with headphones for hearing checks.
- Tympanometers and ear tips - Screening tympanometry units and single-use probe tips for middle-ear assessment.
Screening Tool Formats
| Tool | Screens For | Format | Typical Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snellen / LEA chart | Distance acuity | Wall chart, cabinet | School, clinic |
| Near vision card | Near acuity | Handheld card | Primary care |
| Ishihara plates | Color vision | Plate book | Occupational health |
| Screening audiometer | Hearing thresholds | Portable unit | School, occupational |
| Tympanometer | Middle-ear function | Handheld with probe tips | Pediatric, ENT |
Consumables and Calibration Supplies
Screening audiometers and tympanometers use single-use probe tips and cushions that are reordered as a recurring consumable, and both device types are periodically calibrated to maintain measurement accuracy. Vision charts are matched to the room testing distance (commonly 10 or 20 feet) and to the patient population, with symbol charts stocked for pediatric and non-reader populations. Facilities running large screening programs standardize on one chart type and one audiometer platform so results stay comparable across sites.
Vision and hearing screening tools are a program-driven purchase that spans durable devices and recurring disposables such as tympanometer tips and audiometer cushions. Consolidating charts, screening devices and their consumables under one wholesale account keeps screening programs equipped across multiple school or occupational health sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Snellen chart and a LEA symbol chart?
A Snellen chart uses letters and is used for patients who can read the alphabet, while LEA symbol and tumbling E charts use shapes or a directional E and are used for pediatric, non-reader and non-English-speaking populations. Both measure distance visual acuity at a standard testing distance. Facilities screening mixed populations often stock both formats so every patient can be tested.
What testing distances are vision charts stocked for?
Distance acuity charts are stocked for standard testing distances, most commonly 20 feet and 10 feet, with the chart calibrated to the distance it is designed for. The room layout determines which distance chart a facility uses, and mirror systems allow full-distance testing in shorter rooms. Near vision cards are used at reading distance, typically around 14 to 16 inches.
What consumables do screening audiometers and tympanometers use?
Screening audiometers use replaceable headphone cushions and require periodic calibration. Tympanometers use single-use probe tips in graduated sizes to seal the ear canal during measurement. Both consumables are reordered on a recurring cycle based on screening volume, and probe tips in particular are a steady reorder line for high-volume pediatric and school programs.
Can school and occupational health programs order screening tools in bulk?
Yes. Vision and hearing screening tools and their consumables are stocked in bulk and case quantities for school health programs, occupational health services, clinics and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for recurring consumables such as tympanometer probe tips and audiometer cushions. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What vision and hearing screening products should be in a program formulary?
A typical screening formulary includes a distance acuity chart matched to the room testing distance, a symbol chart for non-readers, near vision cards, an occluder, a color vision plate book, a portable screening audiometer with spare cushions, and where middle-ear screening is performed a tympanometer with a stock of probe tips.
