What is the tone decay test? The tone decay test helps to identify the adaptation of the auditory system (Carhart, 1957). It involves measuring the perceptual reduction in a continuous tone over time…
What is the short increment sensitivity index (SISI) test? The short increment sensitivity index (SISI) test measures the ability to recognise 1dB increases in intensity during a series of bursts of…
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 the short increment sensitivity index (SISI) test? SISI is designed to test the ability to recognise 1dB increases in intensity during a series of bursts of pure tones presented 20dB above th…
This quick guide describes the procedure when wishing to perform an OAE test on a patient with PE-tubes. When performing an OAE test the in-ear detection ensures that that the probe is properly inser…
What is Bayesian weighting? Bayesian weighting is a tool designed to assist the clinician when testing in less than optimal conditions. While giving sweeps with less noise a higher “score”, sweeps wi…
In this quick guide, you will learn how to use the BKB-SIN speech-in-noise test provided with Interacoustics audiometers. Getting started Activate your speech-in-noise license key to get access to th…
Starting up the AC440 Module Launch the Callisto™ Suite from Noah or OtoAccess®. Click on the AUD tab on the upper right hand side of the screen. Click on the icon to launch the tone audiometry scree…
What is the speech in quiet (SIQ) test? The SIQ test is a method of testing a patient’s functional hearing in the absence of any competing sound. The objective of this is to identify their functional…
How do bone anchored systems work? Bone anchored hearing systems transfer sound to the cochlea via direct bone conduction, bypassing the outer and middle ear. This is similar to the way that sound is…
