Picture this – unfortunately – real-life scenario: You’re using carbon paper or pre-printed templates to transfer a hand-written audiogram to paper. You then hand this off to the patient to bring wit…

What is the Delta Values feature? When fitting hearing aids to independent target curves it can sometimes be difficult to assess how far your measurement curve is away from the target curve. Therefor…
Is it possible to measure ABRs via a bone anchored hearing aid? The answer is yes. Bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS) patients are typically those with a conductive (or mixed) or single-sided sensor…
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 want to ask a question about the article from Ferm et al., 2013 titled: “Comparison of ABR response amplitude, test time, and estimation of hearing threshold using frequency specific chirp and tone…
Jack Bennett, International Clinical Trainer at the Interacoustics Academy, describes how to perform Unaided Real Ear Measurements. This includes how to check for contra indications during otoscopy…
In part 1 of this two-part series on ABR masking, we will discuss the need for masking based on the mechanisms of cross-hearing and interaural attenuation.
In this presentation Leigh Martin audiologist, and Global Manager for Interacoustics Academy discusses the role of weighted averaging in otoacoustics emission testing and how this technology can lead…
