ACOUSTIC REFLEX THRESHOLDS USING CONVENTIONAL AND TRACKING METHODS

ACOUSTIC REFLEX THRESHOLDS USING CONVENTIONAL AND TRACKING METHODS Relationship between acoustic reflex thresholds obtained using conventional and tracking procedures was investigated. In the tracking method, the intensity of the stimulus from a selfrecording audiometer is adjusted by the experimenter to bracket the acoustic reflex threshold as visually observed on the meter of an acoustic impedance measuring device. Acoustic reflex thresholds were obtained to pure tones of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. High correlations and no significant differences were obtained between the two threshold methods. It was concluded that the tracking method which allows easier control of stimulus parameters and response recording can provide acoustic reflex threshold data similar to those obtained using a conventional method. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the American Auditory Society Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Relationship between acoustic reflex thresholds obtained using conventional and tracking procedures was investigated. In the tracking method, the intensity of the stimulus from a selfrecording audiometer is adjusted by the experimenter to bracket the acoustic reflex threshold as visually observed on the meter of an acoustic impedance measuring device. Acoustic reflex thresholds were obtained to pure tones of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. High correlations and no significant differences were obtained between the two threshold methods. It was concluded that the tracking method which allows easier control of stimulus parameters and response recording can provide acoustic reflex threshold data similar to those obtained using a conventional method.
