This guide provides clinicians with a complete introduction to VEMP testing in the clinic. Table of contents Components of VEMP Research history of VEMP Why perform VEMP testing? Cervical VEMP Ocular…
The term ‘in-situ’ in the context of audiology is often used to refer to when a hearing instrument or other device is being worn. What is in-situ SPL? In-situ SPL refers to the characteristics of a s…
It’s difficult to answer the question about how close you can get to threshold using eABR. eABR testing allows us to record a threshold on the equipment, and this is then used to set the T level on t…
This video explores the clinical utility of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) as a newborn hearing screening tool and compares OAE with automated ABR. You can read the full transcript below. Benefits of ea…
In this video, Jack Bennett, Audiologist and International Clinical Trainer at the Interacoustics Academy, will introduce the concepts of hearing instrument testing (HIT). You can read the full trans…

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…
When we refer to the admittance of the outer and middle ear system (i.e. its ability to convey sound energy) then we can consider the spring elements that compress and expand (like a spring) includin…

“Eclipse eABR is a valuable tool in the evaluation of the threshold and functional status of the auditory system,” says Prof. Martin Walger, from the Cochlear Implant Center of the ENT University Cli…
An important consideration when it comes to performing aided cortical testing is around the stimuli used for the test. Limitations of previous aided cortical stimuli There were concerns regarding som…
