5.8.4.1 Preparing for Classic ABR Testing with EarCups
At the time of purchase you chose your preferred style of acoustic transducer. If insert
earphones were selected you also chose your preferred ear coupling method, the
EarCup or eartips. Both use single-use disposable supplies.
In case of re-use of the single-use disposable, you enhance
the risk of cross contamination!
The EarCup is an around-the-ear coupler that connects to the tubing of the insert
earphones using the EarCup adapters. The EarCup

adhere to the skin around the
baby’s ears.
The eartip is a small tip that is installed on the infant eartip adapter attached to the
tubing of the insert earphones. The eartip is inserted into the baby’s ear canal.
