This is a pretty interesting question for several reasons but the answers to your question is not easy. The direct answer is we do not know what the rationale is for any advantage of CE-Chirp® over t…
The mono-thermal (“screening”) version of the caloric test refers to stimulating at one temperature on each ear. In many cases the results from two irrigations will be sufficient to inform the tester…

For caloric testing, I am just thinking if we can do cold or warm water alone, why we need to do bithermal beside the benefit of better averaging. Answer: Well your question already encapsulates one…
One application for diagnostic otoacoustic emissions is in the use of ototoxicity monitoring. Ototoxic agents include antibiotics (particularly aminoglycosides), loop diuretics such as furosemide, ch…
What is speech audiometry? Most people acquiring hearing aids report trouble hearing speech, or more often trouble hearing speech in noise. Here speech testing becomes a strong test tool in the asses…
