The use of instrumentation is rapidly improving the quality of all of our lives. Mechanics no longer need to rely on engine sputters and rumbles to locate a source of trouble; they use diagnostic equipment to assess spark plug function and timing while the engine runs at various speeds. Members of the health care team have computerized xray equipment that yields incredibly clear pictures of tissues located deep inside the human body. Those of us involved in hearing testing and hearing aid fitting, have also felt the massive impact of the new technology. The days of watch-tick hearing tests and bulky hearing aids have given way to sophisticated audiometric equipment and all-in-theear hearing aids. We now measure middle ear function accurately and painlessly. We also measure the brain's electrical response to click stimuli as the sounds pass from the ear through the brainstem en route to the auditory cortex. In many ways, the future is here and we routinely conduct tests that, 20 years ago, would have been considered impossible.
