The magnitude (in dB) and angle of 41 ratios of repeated and initial LDV measurements made in 24 ears. A magnitude of 0 dB and an angle of 0 are indicative of perfect repeatability. The filled circles and the thick solid black lines illustrate the mean magnitude and angle of the 41 repetitions. The thick black dashed lines are ±1 standard deviation around the mean. The mean magnitudes are not significantly different from 0 dB. The mean angles at 300, 500, and 700 (labeled with *) were shown by one-tailed Student t test to be significantly different from 0 at the p < 5% level.
