Research made into hearing care For more than 100 years, we have been fitting hearing aids based on the pure tone audiogram. But there is more to hearing than just being able to hear soft sounds. Wit…
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…
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…
While humanitarian trips are often taken by audiologists for the purposes of addressing hearing concerns, taking earmold impressions, and fitting hearing aids, less often are humanitarian efforts foc…
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…

This video gives an overview of the auditory Middle Latency Response (MLR), including a description of the MLR, the electrode montage and stimuli used, how to prepare the patient, as well as a breakd…
What is the auditory steady-state response (ASSR)? The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is an electrophysiological response that is evoked by a periodically repeated (rapid) auditory stimulus. A…
Transcript This is how you perform a SISI test on the AD528. Press and hold the test button and select the SISI test. Select 'tone' or 'warble' on Channel one. If cross hearing is present, activate m…
