Viewing results - DPOAE/DPOAE Diagnostic results 20
A "good" REFER is when the A and S levels do not exceed the critical limits (see below), indicating
that test conditions were good.
A "bad" REFER is when the A and S levels have been exceeded, indicating that test conditions were
not optimal. In this case the patient should be retested.
A and S values
• If the "A" value (artifact reject) is greater than 20%, this may indicate a noisy test. Try to improve
test conditions and repeat the test.
• If the "S" value (stimulus stability) is less than 80%, the probe may have shifted or may not be in
a position to record the response.
