6.5 Binaural Screening

With the MB11 Classic, simultaneous binaural testing is possible. This allows

both ears to be screened at the same time. Testing will continue until both

ears achieve a Pass result or until one or both ears' test terminates in a Refer

result. To perform a "binaural" test, the setting "Binaural Test Allowed" in

the Options dialog must be enabled. Otherwise the selection of Binaural in

the ear button control will not be possible.

Prepare the patient as described in chapter 6 but apply the disposable ear

tips or EarCups and insert earphones for both ears.

Select the "Ear" button on the Main window or the "Other Ear" on the

measuring screen until "Binaural" (in pink letters) is displayed. Click on

"Start Measurement" to begin measurement. The stimulus and the data

collection will begin for both ears simultaneously.

Unlike monaural test, the binaural measurement will display two colored

lines, red for the right ear and blue for the left. Both ears are screened for

hearing loss at 35dBnHL. If responses are detected from both ears, the lines

move upward until it reaches the 100% area colored green, then the result

will be shown as "PASS".
