Deflection unit used for
measurements with 226
Hz probetone (226 Hz
(deflection) unit)
The unit used for deflection curves measured with 226 Hz probe tone. A selection of
volume units (cc, cm
3
, ml, and micro litres) and mmho is available. Does not apply to meas-
urements made at 1000 Hz probe tone where the mmho unit is always used.
E
Ear select
Selection of the patient ear that measurements will be viewed for or performed on
Eartip
Disposable soft silicone part used to create a seal between the probe and the patient's
ear. For the contra insert phone, eartips made from soft foam is used (do not require a
seal).
Equivalent ear canal
volume (ECV)
The volume of the ear canal (measured at 226 Hz probe tone)
Eustachian tube function
test with intact tympanic
membrane (ETF-I)
A set of tympanograms is recorded. Between each recording the patient is manipulated to
provoke a change in middle ear pressure by allowing air to pass through the Eustachian
tube.
Eustachian tube function
test with perforated tym-
panic membrane (ETF-P)
The pressure applied to the ear canal passes the perforated tympanic membrane and can
pass directly through the Eustachian tube. The pressure is recorded as a function of time.
F
Factory defaults
Factory installed default settings
First ear to test (First ear)
Applies when testing starts on a new patient.
G
Get test results from
device
Fetch results from the test device test memory to the PC.
H
Hearing level (HL)
Intensity level scale adjusted to a normal hearing profile
High band noise (HBN)
Stimulus type covering a mix of frequencies in the high end of the stimulus spectrum
HIMSA
Manufacturer of NOAH and PAX software
Hour (hr)
Hour
I
Immittance
Contraction of impedance and admittance. The term covers all the tests types.
Infant eartip
Tree shaped eartips for tiny ears
Initial pressure polarity
Determines whether an ETF-P test starts with a test at positive or negative applied pres-
sure.
Intensity safety off
A mode where the safety limits are temporarily disabled (a warning is displayed on the dis-
play as long as this mode is active). Implemented for research purposes.
