These indicators are stored with the audiogram. If the noise level was measured and was below maximum permissible
levels for all points in a stored audiogram, a check mark is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the audiogram:
Speech audiometry
When you perform a test in the Speech screen using tabular view, you manually select the status in the Ambient Noise
Assessor dialog, and the selection appears as a background color behind each measurement in the table. The colors have
the following meaning:
A. Orange: The measured ambient noise was above the
maximum permissible noise level for the stimulus.
B. Gray: the status of ambient noise is unknown. Meas-
urements stored with this status appear the same as
measurements made without the Ambient Noise
Assessor activated.
C. Yellow: The measured ambient noise level was
above the maximum permissible noise level for the
stimulus. However, the level is so low that it may be
noise from the FreeFit itself, rather than ambient
noise. (See
Minimum HTL per transducer type ►
69 .)
D. Green: The noise level was below the maximum per-
missible level.
