what is the wishpered voice test?
- carried out behind the patient, out of field of view to avoid lipreading.
-Mask hearing in the contralateral ear by rubbing the tragus, and ask the patient to
repeat a combination of letters and numbers, initially at 15cm with a normal speaking voice,
then at arms-length (~60cm), then at arms-length at a whisper
- The latter should be at about
30dB and is considered normal. T
