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…
What is the acceptable noise level (ANL) test? The acceptable noise level (ANL) test is a method of determining how much noise the patient is able to tolerate whilst listening to a target signal/spea…
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 threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test? The threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test consists of measuring pure tone thresholds with a special masking noise TEN.The TEN test was developed to…
What is the Masking Level Difference (MLD)? The Masking Level Difference (MLD) is the improvement in detecting a tone or speech in noise when the phase of the tone or the noise is reversed by 180 deg…
What is the Stenger test? The Stenger test is based on the auditory phenomenon “The Stenger Principle” and is used when a patient is suspected malingering a hearing loss. The Stenger Principle states…
What is the acoustic reflex? The acoustic reflex is the contraction of the stapedius muscle elicited by the presentation of an acoustically loud sound. When either ear is presented with a loud sound…
What is the Hughson-Westlake procedure? The Hughson-Westlake procedure is an automatic pure tone audiometry test. In this test method, the threshold of hearing is defined as 2 out of 3 (or 3 out of 5…
What is the acoustic reflex? The acoustic reflex is the contraction of the stapedius muscle elicited by the presentation of an acoustically loud sound. When either ear is presented with a loud sound…
What is the acoustic reflex? The acoustic reflex is the contraction of the stapedius muscle elicited by the presentation of an acoustically loud sound. When either ear is presented with a loud sound…
What is the Rate Study Protocol? The preprogrammed Rate Study test is designed to evaluate the integrity of the auditory nerve and look for retrocochlear lesion abnormalities. Changes in response lat…
There are many different demands and wishes regarding how an audiometer should both function and appear depending on the specific situation and national standards. One of the greatest advantages of t…
