Hearing aid verification using fitting systems has become very popular since the introduction of digital hearing aids. Real-ear measurements (REM) are the main way in which a clinician can measure th…
Jack Bennett, BSc (Hons), International Clinical Trainer from the Interacoustics Academy discusses the physical and environmental factors that effect the quality of measurements achieved when perform…
A range of researchers have looked to address this question, with resonant frequencies of the human middle ear often reported informally as typically falling between 800 and 1200 Hz (Shanks, 1984). M…

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…
Electrical Evoked Stapedial Reflex Thresholds (eSRT) can be a very useful objective measure for the upper stimulus levels during the programming of a cochlear implant (Brickley et al., 2005; Buckler…
