Preparing the skin Always use an abrasive preparation gel (e.g., NuPrep) to ensure that the top layer of skin (epidermis) is cleaned and oil is removed. The skin may become a little red after an appr…
This tip discusses why you need to be careful when analyzing otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) using the traditional signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio method and which criterion to use instead to improve confid…
