Selecting
HL
,
MCL
,
UCL
,
Tinnitus, Binaural or Aided
sets the symbol
types that are currently in use by the audiogram.
HL
stands for hearing
level,
MCL
stands for most comfortable level and
UCL
stands for
uncomfortable level. Note that these buttons show the unmasked right and
left symbols of the currently selected symbol set.
Binaural
and
Aided
function allows for indicating if the test is performed
binaurally or while the patient is wearing hearing aids. Typically, these icons
are only available when the system is playing stimuli via freefield speaker.
Each type of measurement is saved as a separate curve.
In the
Comments
section you can type comments related to any
audiometric test. The used space by the comments area can be set by
dragging the double line with your mouse. Pressing the
button opens a
separate window for adding notes to the current session. The report editor
and comment box contain the same text. In case the formatting of the text is
important, this can only be set within the report editor.
On pressing the
button you will see a menu which allows you to specify
the hearing aid style on each ear. This is just for note taking when
performing aided measurements on your patient.
After saving the session, comment changes can only be made within the
same day until the date changes (at midnight).
Note:
these timeframes are
limited by HIMSA and the Noah software and not by Interacoustics.
The
Output
list for channel 1 provides the option to test through
headphones, bone conductor, free field speakers or insert phones. Note
that the system only shows the calibrated transducers.
The
Input
list for channel 1 provides the option to select pure tone, warble
tone, narrow band noise (NB) and white noise (WN).
Note that the background shading is according to the side that is selected,
red for right and blue for left.
