12.7 Reflex Decay testing
This test is supported by MADSEN Zodiac Diagnostic and MADSEN Zodiac Clinical.
You can record a reflex decay measurement either as a separate measurement or as part of a diagnostic sequence. In
Sequence testing, the test automatically suggests the stimulus level, which is the reflex threshold level +10 dB.
In the following you will find the description for performing reflex decay testing as a single test. This means that the
sequence function is not enabled.
Warning
•
The Reflex Decay test is a supra-threshold test, where the stimulus levels are very high for an exten-
ded period of time. Make sure that there are no contraindications for performing the test.
Note
•
It is recommended that you perform a tympanometric test before making any acoustic reflex meas-
urement, and determine the acoustic reflex threshold before making a reflex decay measurement.
Note
•
If Reflex Decay is performed as part of a sequence, the following applies: The decay test stimulus level
pre-supposes that there is a reflex threshold available for the ear, stimulus type and stimulus ear (ipsi- or con-
tralateral) that is chosen for reflex decay testing. The decay test stimulus level will then automatically be set to
the threshold level +10 dB. If the reflex has not been determined, the decay measurement will be skipped.
