Difficulty with hearing in background noise is a common complaint among people with hearing loss. The measurement of signal-to-noise ratio loss (SNR loss) is important because a person’s ability to u…
On a trip to Beijing, Dennis Mistry, Audiologist and former Clinical Product Manager, Interacoustics, was asked to help fit the hearing aids of a client who had experienced issues with his prior fitt…
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…

How do bone anchored systems work? Bone anchored hearing systems transfer sound to the cochlea via direct bone conduction, bypassing the outer and middle ear. This is similar to the way that sound is…
In cases where you detect a symmetrical hearing loss, traditional audiometry without masking is usually sufficient. However, be aware that in cases of asymmetrical hearing loss, one cannot be certain…

Performing good quality visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) can be a complex task and it is important to be aware of possible pitfalls and sources of error. The British Society of Audiology's recom…
What is the ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP)? The ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) is an evoked potential measured from the inferior oblique muscle and is used t…
