This course, presented by Dr Gabrielle Merchant, one of the world's foremost researchers into middle ear dysfunction, will explore the topic of wideband tympanometry, focusing on how wideband tympano…
When we think about the causes of vertigo and disequilibrium in children, it can be useful to separate this population into those with, and those without, hearing loss. For those children without hea…
What is threshold testing? The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is an evoked potential that originates at the auditory nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII) and the response is picked up by surface electrodes…
When you're doing audiometry with children, it's a little bit more complicated than when you test an adult who can press a button. The launch of the Equinox Evo device addresses some of the challenge…
Peter Bray, Ph.D., Interacoustics’ OAE specialist, has more than 35 years' experience when it comes to otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). A good proportion of his career, he has focused on capitalizing on…
Table of contents What is the auditory brainstem response (ABR)? ABR results interpretation Patient preparation Testing considerations Checking the electrode impedances Performing a threshold ABR tes…
It's easy and only takes approximately 2 minutes to perform the Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test on Affinity Compact. Learn how to instruct your patient, how to do the actual test and how to use…
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…
Summary of: Piskorski, P., Keefe, D. H., Simmons, J. L., & Gorga, M. P. (1999). Prediction of conductive hearing loss based on acoustic ear-canal response using a multivariate clinical decision theor…
Verification of hearing aid amplification is essential to ensuring the correct prescription for each individual patient. However, in the pediatric population where self-reporting measures cannot be r…
In this video, you will learn why it is important to perform bone conduction auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing, and how best to set up for bone conduction testing, with some tips and suggesti…
Picture this – unfortunately – real-life scenario: You’re using carbon paper or pre-printed templates to transfer a hand-written audiogram to paper. You then hand this off to the patient to bring wit…
