Acoustic immittance measures: terminology and instrumentation.
After a varied history over the past 15 years, basic acoustic immittance measures now include certain physical measures and certain physiological measures. This article reviews current concepts in the terminology and the instrumentation used for these basic measures. It is designed to provide an understanding of standard acoustic immittance measures and a framework for interpreting the results of special acoustic immittance procedures discussed in this issue.
