Analysis is based on normative data entered in Tools|Options|ABR & ECoG Norms. The default norms used by HearAid are those used at Goulburn Valley Health, which were collected using a Bio-Logic® Navigator with these test parameters:

Alternating polarity click stimuli presented at 80 dBnHL

Click rate 11 Hz

High Pass filter 300 Hz

Low Pass filter 3 kHz

A single pass of the post-hoc digital filter

Insert earphones

If your ABR recordings are made with any other test equipment or parameters you MUST enter your own norms!
