What are middle-latency responses (MLRs)? Middle-latency responses (MLRs) are related to auditory generators of the subcortical regions Na and Pa components at cortical levels. Na is considered the o…
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…
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…
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…
It is simply a band of noise that is focused is a very narrow band of frequencies, with steep filter slopes, to produce a noise stimulus suitable for threshold estimation. For example, this is a spec…
This video demonstrates how to create customised visual reinforcers for visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) testing, which can be used to tailor the VRA session to the preferences of the individual…
Table of contents What is automated audiometry? Which test methods can you apply for automated audiometry? Which transducers can you use for automated audiometry? How to perform automated audiometry…
Performing visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) with two testers is best practice for this type of test and recommended by the British Society of Audiology. However, there are examples seen in clini…
An exciting application of the aided cortical test is for those patients who have been fitted with cochlear implants. This video will explore some important adjustments to the test technique, and ele…
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 will explore how to perform aided cortical testing, using what we know about each patient to determine the best testing strategy for their unique needs. For aided cortical testing, we cann…
