  • This is a measure of a patient's middle ear health and will be reported to you in Jerger Type.

  • We will assess your patient's middle ear muscle reflex to loud sounds.

  • We perform this testing with patients who are at risk of hearing loss to determine outer hair cell function of the cochlea. It is extremely useful in verifying behavioural hearing test results and in determining the site of a hearing loss.

  • Depending on the age of the patient, we will perform Behavioural Observation Audiometry using noisemakers and live voice (BOA), Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA), Play Audiometry or Pure Tone Audiometry.

  • The Audiogram will only tell us the softest pure tone a patient can hear. Speech perception testing allows us to assess how the patient performs when words or sentences are presented to them at varying levels with and without competing background noise.
