REV History
REV1 / September 2011, first release of format 100 translated to XSD
REV2 / July 2012, HIMSA released REV 2 of the IMP 500 data standard in conjunction with Noah 4.3.  was made because ImpedanceMeasurementCondition_Type > Frequency needed to be changed from mandatory to optional. This change was needed because the element is used depending on the SignalOutput. All changes for REV 2 are marked between the “!!” symbols.
REV 3 / May 2014, clear up annotations dealing with the description of Contra Reflex Measurement and IPSI Reflex Measurement
REV 4 / August 9 2015 - Annotation updates only.  See new annotations for attributes ValidatedByNOAH and ConvertedFromDataStandard
REV 5 / April 18 2017 With the release of the Noah 4 Audiogram module (version 1.2) HIMSA has updated the Admittance runtime data converter format 100 –> 500.  The changes that were made were done so to address issues where the previous converter would create a format 500 XML file that would pass validation.  This was a known issue with the original move to XML based data standards.  However, HIMSA recently discovered that there was an undesirable side effect when creating updated format (e.g. format 501).  Without fixing this issue the invalid XML caused further problems converting to format 501. 
The detailed changes can be found by searching for the text “@@ REV 5 Converter Change 100>500”
The general changes are choosing default values if not present or entering in a value of -32676 rather than a value of zero (as this can be a valid result).
REV 6 / July 30 2018 It has been brought to HIMSA's attention that the ResultOfReflexTest annotations for REFLEX are incorrect.  The values were incorrectly carried over from fromat 100.  This issue has existed since the first REV of format 500.  The correct values of 1=True and 0=False are not documented.

<xs:documentation>Reflex Tests

The acoustic reflex is a contraction of two middle ear muscles, named the stapedius and tensor tympani muscles. The muscle contraction is a normal bilateral response to acoustic or other eliciting stimuli, (which is not necessarily bilateral). The amount of contraction and subsequent acoustic reflex decay are measured by immitance audiometry.

The reflex is commonly described as ipsilateral or contralateral depending on which side the response is observed relative to the stimulus.

Usually manual inspection of the recorded response is required to verify that a reflex response has been recorded as normal breathing can cause artefact on the test recordings.
Generally there are 3 tests undertaken using the acoustic reflex response, which are:
1) Normal reflex test
2) Reflex decay test
3) Reflex latency test


1) Normal reflex test
Changes in the immitance of the ear are monitored as a tonal or noise stimuli is presented which elicits an acoustic reflex. The test establishes the lowest sound level that elicits a reliable acoustic reflex response which is seen as a measurable change in acoustic immitance.

As the acoustic reflex is a bilateral response we can stimulate either ear and record a response from the same or opposite ear.

The stimulus can be presented in the same ear as the immitance recording and this is called an ipsilateral reflex. Alternatively the immitance can be recorded in the opposite ear to the stimulus and this is called a contralateral reflex. Ipsilateral and contralateral reflexes test different neural pathways.

For clarity the definitions used are detailed below.

+ Right contralateral reflex denotes the stimulus is delivered in the left ear and the probe recording the response is in the right ear.

+ Left contralateral reflex denotes the stimulus is delivered in the right ear and the probe recording the response is in the left ear.

+ Right ipsilateral denotes stimulus and probe in the right ear.

+ Left ipsilateral denotes stimulus and probe in left ear. Ref: Pg 207 Katz


2) Reflex Decay test
Acoustic reflex decay or adaptation, is the reduction in the magnitude of the acoustic reflex response during the presentation of a sustained stimulus. (pg 220 Katz)

Test frequencies tend to be 500Hz and 1000Hz as the reflex tends to naturally rapidly decay at high frequencies.

A reflex is said to decay if it falls to 50% or less of its original value in the 10 or 30 second stimulus time.

Abnormally rapid reflex decay is associated with retrocochlear hearing loss.


This curve illustrates the normal situation where the decay value is negative. The formula used for calculating the decay is

Y2 - Y1
_______
Decay = Y1 . 100 percent. Range [0..100] percent.


3) Reflex Latency test
Acoustic reflex latency refers to how long it takes for the acoustic reflex to occur after the stimulus is presented. The delay is measured from the onset of the stimulus until the beginning of the reflex response. (pg 223 Katz). Generally taken as the time it takes after the stimulus is presented for the immitance change to rise to 10% of it’s eventual value.

The latency period tends to be substantially increased in retrocochlear hearing losses.

<xs:documentation>Eustachian Tube Test (Intact ear drum)

The principle of this test is to record a maximum compliance point and if it is recorded at a significantly negative pressure to continue the test. The patient is then asked to try to force open the Eustachian tube by yawning, swallowing or holding the nose and blowing. A second maximum compliance is then recorded. A normal outcome would be for the second maximum compliance to be recorded closer to 0daPa. Only peak compliance volume is stored for each test. Ref Katz pg. 183

The result of the test  / The movement of the max point from one sweep to another indicates the
pressure change in the middle ear. Maximum compliance is assumed to happen when the applied pressure equals the internal pressure in the middle ear.  Overview and principles of Acoustic.  Ref Katz pg. 176

<xs:documentation>In the past it was allowed by HIMSA to save privately formatted data in the unused section of the public storage area of a NOAH action.  This usage was used mainly because more space was allocated for public storage versus private.  At present this is no longer an issue as equal storage is allocated to both public and private data storage.

This elements primary function is to pass along any private data stored in the public area as base64 encoded data.  NOAH is not performing any translation or conversion of data.

The data will be upconverted from format 100 to format 500

This data will never be converted back to an earlier version of a IMP data standard.  For example, if an IMP action format 500 is saved with this element populated and then an older NOAH compatible fitting module tries to read the data (causing a conversion down to format 100) this data will be ignored by the converter process.

Alternatively the immitance can be recorded in the opposite ear to the stimulus and this is called a contralateral reflex. Ipsilateral and contralateral reflexes test different neural pathways.

For clarity the definitions used are detailed below.

+ Right contralateral reflex denotes the stimulus is delivered in the left ear and the probe recording the response is in the right ear.

+ Left contralateral reflex denotes the stimulus is delivered in the right ear and the probe recording the response is in the left ear.

+ Right ipsilateral denotes stimulus and probe in the right ear.

+ Left ipsilateral denotes stimulus and probe in left ear. Ref: Pg 207 Katz


2) Reflex Decay test
Acoustic reflex decay or adaptation, is the reduction in the magnitude of the acoustic reflex response during the presentation of a sustained stimulus. (pg 220 Katz)

Test frequencies tend to be 500Hz and 1000Hz as the reflex tends to naturally rapidly decay at high frequencies.

A reflex is said to decay if it falls to 50% or less of its original value in the 10 or 30 second stimulus time.

Abnormally rapid reflex decay is associated with retrocochlear hearing loss.


This curve illustrates the normal situation where the decay value is negative. The formula used for calculating the decay is

Y2 - Y1
_______
Decay = Y1 . 100 percent. Range [0..100] percent.


3) Reflex Latency test
Acoustic reflex latency refers to how long it takes for the acoustic reflex to occur after the stimulus is presented. The delay is measured from the onset of the stimulus until the beginning of the reflex response. (pg 223 Katz). Generally taken as the time it takes after the stimulus is presented for the immitance change to rise to 10% of it’s eventual value.

The latency period tends to be substantially increased in retrocochlear hearing losses.

Eustachian Tube Test (Intact ear drum)

The principle of this test is to record a maximum compliance point and if it is recorded at a significantly negative pressure to continue the test. The patient is then asked to try to force open the Eustachian tube by yawning, swallowing or holding the nose and blowing. A second maximum compliance is then recorded. A normal outcome would be for the second maximum compliance to be recorded closer to 0daPa. Only peak compliance volume is stored for each test. Ref Katz pg. 183

The result of the test  / The movement of the max point from one sweep to another indicates the
pressure change in the middle ear. Maximum compliance is assumed to happen when the applied pressure equals the internal pressure in the middle ear.  Overview and principles of Acoustic.  Ref Katz pg. 176

Eustachian Tube Test (Perforated Ear drum)

The pressure of the sealed ear canal volume and middle ear is measured as a function of time. The client is asked to swallow /yarn / hold the mouth and nose shut while blowing, in order to activate Eustachian tube function. A pressure fall will indicate a functioning Eustachian tube.

pressure Point / Curve points. The pressure in daPa is saved versus time.

openPoint / If the Eustachian tube ventilates the middle ear, the pressure change will be registered on the curve. Up to 3 identified pressures can be saved.

In the past it was allowed by HIMSA to save privately formatted data in the unused section of the public storage area of a NOAH action.  This usage was used mainly because more space was allocated for public storage versus private.  At present this is no longer an issue as equal storage is allocated to both public and private data storage.

This elements primary function is to pass along any private data stored in the public area as base64 encoded data.  NOAH is not performing any translation or conversion of data.

The data will be upconverted from format 100 to format 500

This data will never be converted back to an earlier version of a IMP data standard.  For example, if an IMP action format 500 is saved with this element populated and then an older NOAH compatible fitting module tries to read the data (causing a conversion down to format 100) this data will be ignored by the converter process.

canalVolume / The admittance equivalent to the Ear canal volume is conventionally subtracted from measures of total aural admittance to yield an estimate of the middle ear admittance. This is referred to as compensated admittance. Ear canal volumes are in the range of [0.30 .. 1.00] ccm in children and
[0.65 .. 1.75] ccm in adults. Refer [HOCA4] Chapter 20. The volume is given by the formula

Vc = γ . ps . Ca = ρ . c2 . Ca where

+Vc / is the equivalent volume in m3
+γ / is the ratio of specific heat for air at constant pressure to that at constant volume, approximately 1.40.
+ps / is the barometric pressure in Pa, normal pressure 0.1013 MPa.
+ρ / is the ambient density of air in kg/m3, at the temperature and pressure of the measurement
+c / is the speed of sound in m/s at the temperature and pressure of the measurement
+Ca / is the acoustic compliance in m3/Pa
+Note 1 / The ear canal volume equivalent is valid at the probe tone frequency 226 Hz.
+Note 2 / The equivalent volume of air is equal to its physical value for values not exceeding 5 ccm.

canalVolume / The admittance equivalent to the Ear canal volume is conventionally subtracted from measures of total aural admittance to yield an estimate of the middle ear admittance. This is referred to as compensated admittance. Ear canal volumes are in the range of [0.30 .. 1.00] ccm in children and
[0.65 .. 1.75] ccm in adults. Katz pg 180. The volume is given by the formula
Vcc = γ . ps . Ca = ρ . c2 . Ca where

+Vc / is the equivalent volume in m3
+γ / is the ratio of specific heat for air at constant pressure to that at constant volume, approximately 1.40.
+ps / is the barometric pressure in Pa, normal pressure 0.1013 MPa.
+ρ / is the ambient density of air in kg/m3, at the temperature and pressure of the measurement
+c / is the speed of sound in m/s at the temperature and pressure of the measurement
+Ca / is the acoustic compliance in m3/Pa
+Note 1 / The ear canal volume equivalent is valid at the probe tone frequency 226 Hz.
+Note 2 / The equivalent volume of air is equal to its physical value for values not exceeding 5 ccm.

Defined as the frequency at which compliant and mass succeptance are equal. Normal middle ear resonance falls between 800 and 1200Hz. Below the resonant frequency the middle ear is stiffness controlled and above the resonant frequency it is mass controlled (Katz pg 189)

Various middle ear pathologies will have an effect on the mass or stiffness of the system resulting in altered resonant frequencies in abnormal ears.

Different acoustic reflex measurements

+ fixedLevel / Used at screening tests at e.g. 90 dB HL. The probe freq (226Hz) is always
kept at 85 dB SPL. The stimulus tone is measured in HL at e.g. 3 different
frequencies: Contralateral [500 .. 8 kHz] Ipsilateral [500 .. 4 kHz]. For
contralateral stimulus is frequently used a TDH39 headphone calibrated in
HL. The 8 kHz freq can often not be produced by the probe system.

+ AutoThreshold Search / Sweep from e.g. 80 to 110 dB HL stimulus tone. Continuous increase in
intensity over [2..5] seconds, the stapedius reflex is monitored continuously.
A trained person must then decide from the band of curves when the reflex is
present. The probe frequency (226 Hz) is always kept at 85 dB SPL.

+ sequence / A pre-programmed sequence of acoustic reflex tests. The probe freq (226
Hz) is always kept at 85 dB SPL, the stimulus tone intensity is varied in steps.

+ multiplexed / Some methods prescribe that the probe tone and the stimulus tone is "multiplexed" - i.e. interchanged. The 226 Hz probe tone is used to find the max. compliance point, and then the stimulus tone is applied instead.

+ reflex / A manually performed reflex test. All parameters are saved in the Measurement Conditions. The result is noted as TRUE or FALSE.

+ decay / The decay percentage is measured after 10 seconds. See measurement details at explanation for TReflexTest

+ latency / The latency in time before a 10 pct value of the acoustic reflex is obtained is measured and saved. See measurement details at explanation for TReflexTest.

+ cubicCentiMetre / In [IEC 60645-5 2005] is referred a rule of thumb:

+ milli_mho / This size is per definition 1 cgs acoustic millimho.
Since 1 cubic cm is equal to 1 ml, the three admittance units therefore
should yield the same numeric values.

+ degree_3600 / If polar notation of the complex admittance is preferred, this measure expresses the phase angle in tenths of a degree.

+ deka_Pascal / Pressure in tens of Pascal, daPa, Pa/10. 1 daPa equals 1 mm of water.

6/25/2012 Annotation

The IMP standard format 100 defined the possible values in the following manner
• cubicCentiMetre_100 -- Cubic Centi Metre x 100
• milliLitre_100 -- Milli Litre x 100
• milli_mho -- Milli mho  x 100  i.e. "SI-mho"
• degree_3600 -- Phase in degrees x 10
• deka_Pascal -- Pressure in deka Pascal (daPa or tens of Pa)

This means that a module saving data would set the compliance unit, using the list above, but would also have to save the compliance value accordingly.  For example, if the unit was cubiccenterMetre then the value would have to be X 100.  This concept was used as the original header file did not have the ability to use decimal values.

While HIMSA migrated this standard (format 500) to XML we in almost all cases defined the xml element as a decimal where the format value was defined as “value”X100 ect.

In this case we are not able to make this similar type of change as value will in some cases by X100, X10, or nothing.

If a module is saving data using format 500 then it is mandatory that the developer save the value as an integer by multiplying the value according to the list of values above.

Conversely, a module reading data must divide the integer accordingly.
