5.1. Prior to testing and Ambient conditions
A suitably-qualified health care professional should perform a thorough
otoscopic examination to establish that the condition of the ear is suitable
for the test options selected and that no contraindications are present. The
latter would include obstruction of the external ear canal due to excessive
wax and/or hairs, both of which would need to be removed.
Tympanometric and reflex testing should always be performed in a quiet
room or in an acoustic booth.
