Air-bone gaps are the difference in sensitivity threshold between air and bone conduction transducers. This measurement helps distinguish between conductive and sensorineural hearing losses, as well…
I’ve noticed a consistent air bone gap at 4000 Hz during audiometry. Can you explain why this happens? For a complete answer to this issue the reader is strongly urged to read Margolis et al. (2013)…

In this article, we will equip you with everything you need to know to feel confident selecting and fitting a CROS or a BiCROS hearing aid. Table of contents What is CROS? What is BiCROS? Factors to…
The real-ear-to-coupler difference (RECD) is the difference between the coupler response and the real ear response. This guide will provide an introduction to RECD testing. Table of contents Why does…
This video demonstrates some suggestions to help when performing real-ear-to-coupler difference (RECD) measurements. You can read the full transcript below. Probe microphone insertion With both REMs…
What is the acceptable noise level (ANL) test? The acceptable noise level (ANL) test is a method of determining how much noise the patient is able to tolerate whilst listening to a target signal/spea…
