Important
•
The masking transducer must not under any circumstances block or cover the bone conduction test ear. If
it does, this will invalidate the test due to the occlusion effect.
Make sure that there is no contact between the headband, which holds the bone conductor in place, and the headset
or headband supporting the headphones. This will prevent vibrations from being conducted from one to the other.
Leave it in this position until the test is finished.
Instructing the patient
•
The patient will be hearing brief tones.
•
The tones may at times appear to be very weak.
•
The tones can be heard either in the one ear, in the other ear or in both ears simultaneously.
•
Instruct the patient in how to use the patient responder.
•
The patient should press the patient responder as soon as the tone is heard, even if it is very weak.
•
You may prefer that the patient indicates in which ear the tone was heard by raising a hand.
•
The patient should not touch or move the bone conductor from its position.
5.2.5
Preparing for testing with masking
See
Air conduction with masking - suggested procedure
for a recommended procedure on testing with masking.
Instructing the patient
•
In addition to the tones in the test ear, the patient will be hearing a noise in the other ear.
•
The tones can be heard in either ear.
•
The patient should respond to the tones in the test ear and ignore the noise.
•
The patient should press the patient response switch as soon as the tone is heard.
•
You may prefer that the patient raises a hand to indicate in which ear the tone was heard. This is particularly relevant
since masked testing is used to determine that the signal is perceived by the test ear.
5.3
Listening check
Perform listening checks routinely to make sure that the equipment is functioning properly.
•
Use a person who has auditory thresholds below 10 dB and make sure that he or she can hear a very faint sound for
each stimulus type, frequency and for each transducer at 0 to 5 dB.
•
If the person cannot hear the stimulus, contact the manufacturer or local representative to troubleshoot the system.
•
It is recommended that the system be calibrated annually or according to the local requirements.
5.4
Preparing the client
Previous exposure to high levels of sound
If the patient has been exposed to high levels of sound, this may create a temporary threshold shift (TTS), which will dimin-
ish with time. If the patient is tested soon after this type of noise exposure, it may not be possible to determine the nor-
mal hearing threshold. It is recommended that a minimum of 16 hours should pass between exposure and testing.
