This is the second of three parts of the webinar “The advantages and benefits of performing Real Ear Measurements”. Amanda Goodhew, International Clinical Trainer with the Interacoustics Academy, dis…
This is a useful aid in interpreting the quality of evoked responses that are seen after gathering and then averaging together a series of epochs in order to cancel the noise. Examples include ABRs…
Both of these auditory evoked potentials responses arise from generators in the thalamo-cortical region of the central auditory system and so you would associate them with objectively assessing thres…
The prefix “nHL” conventionally refers to sound level (dB) of a signal referenced to the thresholds for a group otologically normal hearing people – it is the same concept as dB HL, however nHL is of…
For caloric testing, I am just thinking if we can do cold or warm water alone, why we need to do bithermal beside the benefit of better averaging. Answer: Well your question already encapsulates one…
There are big differences between what people call virtual reality (VR) for persons with balance and vestibular disorders. Use of a head-mounted device, a CAVE (large scene that is not moveable from…
When we refer to the admittance of the outer and middle ear system (i.e. its ability to convey sound energy) then we can consider the spring elements that compress and expand (like a spring) includin…
One application for diagnostic otoacoustic emissions is in the use of ototoxicity monitoring. Ototoxic agents include antibiotics (particularly aminoglycosides), loop diuretics such as furosemide, ch…
