Two additional gaze positions are now available in VisualEyes™ 525 as an option to include in your test battery. These are called the Center Body Left and Center Body Right tests. This allows clinici…
What is threshold testing? The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is an evoked potential that originates at the auditory nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII) and the response is picked up by surface electrodes…
Below, you can find quick answers to frequently asked questions on the Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test. For more detailed information, please refer to the Interacoustics Academy complete guide…
What is the Sinusoidal Harmonic Acceleration (SHA) test? The Sinusoidal Harmonic Acceleration (SHA) test measures the patient’s Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) by rotating the patient in a pendular pat…
