Creating a TEOAE Pass/Refer Test Protocol

Titan Support

This quick guide outlines the procedure for creating a pass/refer TEOAE test protocol. Parameters and settings should be based on an appropriate pass/refer criterion.

From the TEOAE tab, go to Menu | Setup | Protocol setup.

In the Protocol setup screen, click on New and type in the desired protocol name.

From the Available tests box, double click on TEOAE. TEOAE (Unconfigured) will now appear in the Selected tests box.

Click on the Settings button below the Selected tests box.

Select the band method from the Method box. Enter the specific frequency bands for custom bands.

The Basic and Advanced tabs offer options to change the stimulus type (non-linear click is almost always used), stimulus level, high pass filter, level tolerance and set the Acceptable noise level (level above which OAE recording will be rejected due to noise). Choose to measure at ambient or peak pressure.

Under the Common test settings – Stop criteria tab, select the following: Test time – select from a maximum test time or maximum number of sweeps. Include TE criteria as stop criteria – this box should remain checked to include the TE criteria as stop criteria. Enable Pass/Refer – check this box and accept the disclaimer. Minimum number of bands required for a pass – select the minimum number of bands required to label the result as a pass.
