[Sisi-test - a faulty test method? (author's transl)]. 1979

H G Chüden, and H Kuschnir

Doubts of reliability of SISI-test are based on lack of understanding and knowledge of what this test can disclose and where it should be placed in an audiologic test battery. Examination of normal hearing medical students with the SISI-test showed much better results than comparable test figures of other authors. There is a distinct difference with regard to the test intensity as well as the test frequency. Results show that their is no reason to disqualify the SISI-test.

D001299	Audiometry	The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds.	Audiometries
