Abstract
A sanitizing apparatus sanitizes headsets or eyeglasses between uses by patients. The apparatus includes a UV-C lamp that generates UV-C light at a proper frequency and intensity during a time period of sufficient duration to kill bacterial and viral infectants on surfaces of the headsets or eyeglass frames that may come in contact with a patient's skin. The apparatus may also be used for sanitizing bone vibrators, otoacoustic emissions testing equipment, headsets used in impedance testing, insert earphones, and response buttons that are commonly used in audiometric testing. The apparatus can also be used in communication situations in which headsets are utilized with microphones, such as in call centers.
