DATA COLLECTION
WARNING
Ensure that the appropriate settings have been made before carrying out a test.
See the information below and the CONFIGURATION options in the previous
section.
PRIOR TO TESTING AND AMBIENT CONDITIONS
A 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.
EAR TIPS
These must be selected and fitted by a practitioner qualified to perform tympanometric tests.
WARNING
The probe tip must be fitted with a new ear tip before it is presented to a patient’s
ear canal. The ear tip must be fitted completely to the probe tip and must not
occlude any of the four holes in the probe tip. The ear tip size is chosen to suit the
patient’s ear and provide a comfortable pressure seal.
