What does the future hold for audiology? Will audiologists be needed in the future? Four experts give their opinions on the future of audiology, including the growing branch of vestibular audiology…
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…
What is the Stenger test? The Stenger test is based on the auditory phenomenon “The Stenger Principle” and is used when a patient is suspected malingering a hearing loss. The Stenger Principle states…

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…
What is the acceptable noise level (ANL) test? The acceptable noise level (ANL) test is a method of determining how much noise the patient is able to tolerate whilst listening to a target signal/spea…

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…
What is the tone decay test? The tone decay test can help to identify the adaptation of the auditory system (Carhart, 1957). It involves measuring the perceptual reduction in a continuous tone over t…
