Performing a measurement 

NOTE:

 Tympanometry and 

Acoustic Reflex

 measurements  are recommended to 

be  performed  before  each 

Reflex  Decay

  test  to  find  the  maximum  compliance 

pressure and 

Acoustic Reflex

 threshold. The results will be displayed on the screen 

for instant review. 

 

 

Figure 59 

 

Pressure:

  is  the  peak  pressure  of  the 

Tympanogram

 

performed. 

Reflex Thresholds:

 the results from the 

Tympanometry

 

and  Acoustic  Reflex

  module  for  ease  of  selecting  the 

Reflex Decay

 presentation level (Figure 59).
