Interacoustics OtoRead Instructions For Use Manual page 76

The OtoRead uses a novel noise-rejection algorithm (patent pending) that permits accurate DPOAE
TM
and TEOAE measurements in background noise and babble as high as 55 dB SPL to 65 dB SPL (A-
weighted). Briefly explained, use of available memory in the OtoRead
statistical analysis that identifies those samples whose retention would improve the overall accuracy.
Those samples are included in the final analysis; the noisier samples are rejected.
The artifact rejection can only reject the noisiest samples in a measurement period. If the ambient noise
level rises too high (and/or the ear tip seal is poor), then all samples will be noisy and accurate
measurements will be impossible. In such cases, the test result will indicate 'noisy'.
