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 guide provides clinicians with a complete introduction to video head impulse testing (vHIT). Table of contents What is the head impulse test (HIT)? What is the video head impulse test (vHIT)? vH…
1. VOR gain VOR gain is never the same when measuring at different points in time. It is therefore important to be able to analyze VOR gain under various circumstances. EyeSeeCam vHIT complies to the…
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…
The eye movements that are mediated by the semicircular canals through the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) are well-known and used in many clinical tests of vestibular function. These reflexive eye mov…
What is the Ambient Noise feature? The Ambient Noise feature allows you to monitor the test environment for noise during Audiometry testing. It is ideal for when you may be testing in non-optimal con…
What is the speech in noise (SIN) test? The SIN test is a method of testing a patient’s functional hearing in the presence of competing sound (Taylor, 2003). The objective of this is to identify thei…
What is high frequency audiometry? High frequency audiometry (above 8 kHz) is performed using the same procedure as normal air conduction audiometry. High frequency audiometry is helpful when testing…
What is Békésy audiometry? Békésy audiometry is an automatic method of measuring audiometric thresholds. It can be used for audiometric screening or in differentiation between the cause of the hearin…
What is the threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test? The threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test measures pure tone thresholds with a special masking noise called TEN. The TEN test is a quick and easy wa…
