Warning
•
If the patient is troubled by the test, stop the test. The test is interrupted immediately. Already measured
results are kept.
Warning
•
Look into the ear canal. It is strongly recommended that you perform an otoscopy to assess the status of
the outer ear before you insert the probe. If the ear canal is blocked, this may affect the result of the test. Clean the
ear canal if needed. Make sure that there is no residual fluid in the patient's ear after cleaning or wax removal.
Warning
•
Testing should not be performed on patients displaying the following symptoms without the approval of a
medical doctor:
•
If there is discharge in the ear
•
If the patient recently has undergone middle ear surgery
•
If the ear canal is occluded
•
If the patient suffers from acute trauma
•
If the patient experiences severe discomfort
•
If the patient displays symptoms of tinnitus or hyperacusis, in which case using excessively loud acoustic stimuli
for acoustic reflex measurements should be avoided.
