Mean absorbances for the 12 studies within the WAI database as of July 1,
2019. Noted in the legend are the peer-reviewed publications associated with the
datasets, the number of individual ears, and the equipment used in the study.
When multiple measurements were made on the same ear, the average from those
measurements was used in the calculation across subjects for a given study. Some
subjects have measurements on both a right and a left ear, and some subjects
have measurements from only one ear; this figure includes every ear in the
database and does not control for the effect of number of ears from each
subject.
