An evaluation of predicting hearing loss from the acoustic reflex. 1977

R W Keith

Three different formulas used in predicting hearing level from acoustic reflex data have been suggested. Acoustic reflex information is also used in predicting slope of hearing loss. Seventy-four normal and hearing-impaired persons were tested, and predictions of level and slope of hearing were compared with pure tone hearing thresholds. The results indicate that the Niemeyer-Sesterhenn and Jerger unweighted formulas yield comparable results and are preferable to the Jerger weighted formula. Predictions of slope of hearing loss are equivocal.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
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
