7.7 ABLB (Alternate Binaural Loudness Balance)
Note
• This test is optional.

alternately
. The patient must decide when
the same volume is achieved in both ears. The patient indicates this by pressing the patient responder.

To change the alternating frequency:
1. Press
Setup
once and use the
Right level
knob (0.25 - 2.5 Hz).
2. Press Setup again to implement the new setting.
