Tests
The TEOAE test
that the probe tip and the ear canal are not blocked by cerumen or vernix. Clean
the probe, change the eartip, and then repeat the test.
• It is recommended that you repeat the test if the test conditions were not opti-
mal (too much noise, too restless a patient, etc.). If required, use a sound cabin
or a room, where the ambient noise is as low as possible.
Artifact and Stimulus values
If the
Artifact
value (artifact reject) is greater than 20%, this may indicate a noisy test.
Try to improve test conditions and repeat the test.
If the
Stimulus
value (stimulus stability) is less than 80%, the probe may have shifted
or may not be in a position to record the response. Try to reposition the probe and
repeat the test.
Note · Retro-cochlear hearing loss cannot be detected by TEOAE testing.
