on the probe will pulse at a steady pace to
indicate a correct fit. If the ear tip fit is not
correct, the LED light will blink at a fast pace
and an error message prompting you to retry
or cancel the test will appear on the screen.
Once a proper seal has been obtained, the test will proceed. A tympanometry test will be performed, followed
by a reflex measurement.
