customizing protocols on the Diagnostic units can be found in the
sections Advanced Options for DPOAE Diagnostic Unit on page 35
or Advanced Options for TEOAE Diagnostic Unit on page 38.
NOTE: The default protocols: DP 4s, DP 2s, TE 64s and TE 32s
cannot be customized.
Starting a Test
To obtain a seal and measure emissions, gently insert the eartip into
the patient’s ear canal. It should fit snugly and comfortably. The best
test results are obtained when an eartip is inserted deeply into the ear
canal instead of flush with the ear canal.
To begin a test, insert the probe into the ear and select either the
LEFT or RIGHT arrow key to indicate which ear will be tested.
