Abstract: The audiologic check battery encompasses a variety of behavioral/psychophysical and objective/physiologic checks that offer key insights into otologic disorders. Some additives of the auditory check battery are nonspecific (e.g., tonal and speech audiometry); others (e.g., electrocochleography) are unique for the prognosis of unique auditory machine pathologies. It is important to use positive simple checks, inclusive of pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, immittance testing, and otoacoustic emissions, to represent the simple houses of the auditory machine for each new affected person with auditory complaints. More unique and physiologic checks want to be tailor-made primarily based totally on affected person complaints, the effects of the simple check battery, and medical suspicion. If administered and interpreted correctly, physiologic checks, inclusive of electrocochleography, auditory brainstem reaction testing, and otoacoustic emission testing, provide significant specificity and sensitivity. Critics bringing up low specificity and sensitivity of audiologic checks (i.e., auditory brainstem reaction withinside the prognosis of small acoustic neuroma) do now no longer think about bad technical quality.
