OAE test procedure
If the position of the
Fit Size Indicator
corresponds with the age of the
patient and
Checkfit
is displayed on the top of the screen then the probe
fit and the test conditions are adequate for testing. The
Stimulus and Noise
OK indicators
(above the screen) should also be illuminated. Select
Start
to continue the test.
If there is a disagreement between the
Fit Size Indicator
and the ear
canal size expected of your patient, then there may be a problem with the
probe or the probe fit. For example: an indication of a large ear canal in a
neonate may occur if the probe has fallen out of the ear or if the probe is
blocked; an indication of a small ear canal in an adult may occur because
of wax blocking the canal.
Noise level indicator
A Noise Level Indicator is shown on the right of the
Checkfit
screen. The
red/green bar moves in response to changes in noise. For good testing
conditions the bar should be green and remain consistently below the
Noise Reject Level, which is represented by the horizontal line across the
Noise Level Indicator. In poor testing conditions, when the noise level is
above the Noise Reject Level, the bar will be red.
The letter below the indicator represents the noise reject threshold level.
This can be altered using the up and down arrow keys.
Generally higher noise reject can give faster data collection but poorer
quality data. The best noise reject setting depends on both test conditions
and the strength of the emission being tested. Strong emissions may be
detected in a noisy environment with a high noise reject threshold. Weak
emissions may only be detected in a quiet environment with a low noise
reject threshold.
Checkfit condition information
When conditions are good for data collection
TE TEST
(or
DP TEST
) will
be shown at the top of the screen and progress indicators will move either
side of the title to show that a test is currently running.
Check Probe Fit
is shown if the stimulus level falls outside the accepted
range.
Noisy
appears if the noise level is consistently above the Noise Reject
Level for a period of time.
Ringing
is displayed when there is obvious oscillation within the
Stimulus
Waveform
after the initial expected positive and negative peaks.
