2
within the middle ear system (Figure 1). During the test, a low-pitched
probe tone (226 Hz) is presented to the ear canal by means of the hand-held probe.
This tone is used to measure the change in compliance in the middle ear system while

Compliance is measured with respect to an equivalent volume of air, with the scientific quantity milliliter (ml).
2
Air pressure is measured in deca-Pascals (daPa).
