A FIT solution.

Abstract:

:The Fusion at Inferred Threshold (FIT) test is a clinically useful procedure for assessing air-conduction pure-tone thresholds in any ear that may not be tested by conventional procedures with masking. It has not been widely reported in the literature. This article describes the FIT test procedure and provides four case studies where the FIT was used successfully to determine appropriate management strategies.
