What is the VDB-Express test? Difficulty with hearing in background noise is a common complaint among hearing aid users. Therefore, the measurement of SNR loss (signal-to-noise ratio loss) is importa…
The BSA Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend using the NAL-NL1/NAL-NL2 fitting formulae when performing Adult hearing aid verification. The choice between the use of the REIG (insertion gain) or th…

In September, we were happy to announce the Aided Cortical module for the Interacoustics Eclipse, which helps you validate the benefit of a hearing device in infants, children, adults and other patie…
What is Residual Noise? Residual Noise is the averaged background noise. It is calculated online during the ABR recording by measuring the stability of the averaged waveform. The Residual Noise calcu…
The Ambient Noise feature allows you to monitor the test environment for noise during audiometric testing. It is ideal when testing in non-optimal conditions or when testing via tele-audiometry. Know…
In this quick guide, you will learn how to perform the Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test. What is the ACT test? The ACT test is an above-threshold, non-language specific test that quantifies a pe…
Lisbeth Birkelund Simonsen is a promising young research audiologist, working at the frontier of audiological discovery at the Interacoustics Research Unit – IRU. We talked to her about her work as a…
In adults and older children, traditional speech testing is used as a method of establishing whether the patient's hearing device(s) are working as desired. In much younger children, this isn't yet p…
If the results of the aided cortical test suggest that changes or improvements can be made to the patient's device or amplification, then it is important to understand how and when to make such adjus…
This video explores how to interpret the results of an aided cortical waveform, or a set of waveforms. The information covered in this video is also crucial to understanding how to perform the test…
