Stim level
‘Stim Level’ sets the stimulus level used in the ABR test in dBHL.
If Stim Level is set to OFF then the selected mode (ABRscreen or
ABRcustom) is not available for testing and it will not appear in the main
menu carousel.
The ‘ABRscreen’ mode is intended for newborn hearing screening.
The stim level can be set from 30-45dBHL in 5dB steps.

stimulus levels 35dBnHL (e.g. American Speech Language Hearing
