○ Should be within 10 dB of each other
○ Combined with ___ ___
○ Should have no more than a ___ hearing loss if

Term
Puretone Bone Conduction
○ Cross check with ___ ___ tests Weber and
Rinne
○ Combined with puretone ___ ___
testing (air-bone gap)
○ Compare with ___
Definition
tuning fork; air conduction; tympanometry
Term
Acoustic Reflex Thresholds
○ Cross check for ___ audiometry
-Consistent with puretone audiometry
Definition
puretone
Term
What are 3 subjective measures? Meaning based on the patient and their response.
Definition
○ Puretone audiometry
○ Speech audiometry
○ Speech in noise
Term
Three objective measures? Can't fake these tests.
Definition
○ Immittance measure (tympanometry and
acoustic reflex thresholds)
○ Otoacoustic emissions
○ Electrophysiologic measures (ex: auditory
brainstem response test)
Term
Do you want to do objective or subjective tests first?
Definition
Objective-Gives clinician an idea of what to expect before
using subjective measures. May not be necessary to use objective tests if everything aligns; Less expensive
