When doing aided cortical testing, it is important that testing is done in a proper environment.
Factors such as ventilation and computer fans can mask the noise presented from the free field speaker.
We recommend that you perform the test in a quiet environment.
The aided cortical test is primarily performed on infants, small children, and patients with complex needs.
The patient should be awake and engaged during testing.
Use quiet toys, interesting objects, or silent videos to keep your patient engaged while the test is running.
We suggest that any screen be placed above the free field speaker to ensure the patient is facing toward the source of the stimuli.
Place the patient where the initial calibration was performed, which should be 1.5 m away from the free field speaker.
The patient should stay in the same place during testing.
When testing, infants, either seat them in an appropriate chair or on the lap of their adult.
If you change the position of the patient, you should redo your sound field analysis to compensate for the change in test environment.
You are now ready to prepare your patient and start testing.
