Home

screen, press the

Test

button corresponding to the ear you wish to

test.

5.3

The DPOAE test

DPOAEs are responses generated by the inner ear to a two-tone stimulation. For each frequency that is tested, a pair of
tones is presented. The frequency of one of the tones presented is called F1 and the level of that tone is called L1. The
other tone is called F2 and its level is L2.

5.3.1

Starting the test

Calibration and speaker test are performed before the actual test starts.

Probe fit

If the probe does not fit correctly, adjust the position of the probe.

Speaker test

The probe fit is followed by a speaker test to make sure that the two speakers function
correctly.
