Procedure
- Select Loudness Scaling in the ribbon and click on New Measurement
- Select the machine and the test frequency (250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 or 6000 Hz) from the drop-down list
- You can choose to check the Run Short Test box to reduce the number of presentation levels and to save time
- Use the controls to select the side of the test ear and the conduction
- In the Training mode, you can set a presentation level and click Present. Alternatively, you can check the Auto Scan box and click Scan to make Audiqueen present all intensities from soft to loud.
- In the Test mode, Audiqueen presents the stimulus at different presentation levels and the patient should say how loud this feels.
- The Repeat button can be used to repeat the previous sound once more.
- After the last presentation, Audiqueen calculates the median scores per presentation level and a global score expressed as RMS value.
Audiqueen calculates the RMS value as a measure of the error compared to the normal line. This is the root mean square for all presentation levels of (the median response – the normal response). As such, this is a positive value. Audiqueen adds a sign mark. This is the sign mark of the sum of all responses – the sum of all normal responses.
