Patient Instructions
For patients who can understand instructions, the following information will help prepare them for
the test. Inform them that:
1. You will insert the ear tip into the ear canal.
2. He/She will hear a series of sounds for a few seconds, up to a minute or so.
3. The test will be fastest and most accurate if the patient remains quiet throughout the entire
test which will be brief, no more than a minute. That means no talking, minimal movement,
and the patient should not respond to the sounds in any way.
