  Calibration

 

Before starting the test the Otoport will calibrate the levels of the tones 

which are to be used in the test.  This is necessary to account for the 

acoustic properties of the patient’s ear canal.  If the required levels cannot 

be reached then the Otoport will display the message 

Unable to calibrate. 

Check probefit 

and then it will return to the checkfit screen.  

 

Note:

The calibration method used for DP stimuli above 5kHz has 

been enhanced from firmware version 1.14.0.0 onwards.  If 

necessary for comparison with old recorded data, the Otoport 

software can be switched to use the old calibration method 

using the test config area of Otolink (see 

Otolink User Manual

, 

Otoport Configuration

 chapter).  We do not recommend 

permanently setting the Otoport to the old calibration method, as 

dBSPL values will be less accurate.
