Symbols used in masking, and how to record your masking appropriately

Masking Rule 3: This is the rule that many people scratch their head over, mainly because it can be difficult to see, but also because it doesn’t come up that often (and generally only in more complex cases). Therefore, if you’re used to testing routine cases you may not have to think about rule 3 very much. That’s why it’s good to refresh your knowledge so that you don’t miss it when it does come along. Completing rule 3 means that your hearing test will be more accurate; the end result may affect your diagnosis and also your hearing aid prescription.

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction : Their ears feel blocked but there is no wax and tympanometry is normal. Temperature, humidity, and exposure to allergens such as pollen which has been extra strong this year. Affect the delicate environment of our nasal passages and our Eustachian tubes. These seasonal factors can influence how well these our eustachian tubes open and close, and how efficiently they drain fluid or congestion. I often say to people that this issue will be worse from May- October where seasonal weather is much more up and down in recent years.

Early this year we ran a successful Masking in Audiometry course. I have now added another for the Thursday 26th November 2025 and Thursday 26th February 2026. These days are designed to teach both theoretical and practical aspects of masking in a logical easy way to understand. Masking is often taught in a rote learning way and this doesn't work! Breaking it down step by step and seeing patterns is what works best. We will also be opening our online portal in the next 2 months and we will have Masking Theory as one of the courses you can learn online.

A new blog will be coming shortly. However, first I have decided to update our Otitis Externa blog, found here in our websites Knowledge Centre:
https://tjaudiology.com/otitis-externa-what-is-it-and-what-do-i-need-to-do/

The reason for this update is because over the last few years, we have seen more clients with OE than ever before. This is something I am now seeing weekly rather than infrequently. This has also been noticed by others in clinical practice and researchers alike. This prompted me to do even more research on the topic.

UPDATED 28.8.25 Since I wrote this blog, I have been researching further into the topic. Along with training, I still work clinically and over the last few year
