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)…
Answer: This is a fascinating question which has occupied the audiological community for some time now, because in theory both techniques arise from the same neural generators but in practice there h…
Both of these auditory evoked potentials responses arise from generators in the thalamo-cortical region of the central auditory system and so you would associate them with objectively assessing thres…

I have heard of the ‘Binaural Interaction Component’. What is this and how can it be measured using the Eclipse? Answer: The binaural interaction component (BIC) an evoked response used to probe the…
The ‘wideband’ part of the name Wideband Absorbance (WBA) refers to the stimulus, which is a click i.e. a broadband sound. The ‘absorbance’ part of the name refers to how effectively the energy from…
This guide provides clinicians with a complete introduction to OAE testing to help in the selection of the most appropriate test protocol and for analyzing OAE test results. Table of contents What ar…
Following the last IFOS congress in Paris 2017, the long-awaited IFOS congress in Dubai 2023 is just around the corner, January 17-21 at Dubai World Trade Centre. The theme for IFOS 2023 is “Connecti…
This video will take you through the procedure of how to obtain an electrically evoked stapedius reflex threshold (eSRT) and its clinical applications. You can read the full transcript below. Introdu…
This video is taken from the webinar: Beyond bedside testing: The importance of objectifying the ocular counter roll test. In this section, Dr. Kamran Barin will describe the different tests of otoli…
Before starting my position with Interacoustics, I used VisualEyes™ all day every day for several years in a busy vestibular clinic. Even though I felt like I knew the software well, transitioning to…
