A Pure Tone Audiogram for Students

Integrating the acoustics of running speech into the pure tone audiogram: a step from audibility to intelligibility and disability.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of the present study is to construct a simple method for visualizing and quantifying the audibility of speech on the audiogram and to predict speech intelligibility. The proposed method involves a series of indices on the audiogram form reflecting the sound pressure level distribution of running speech. The indices that coincide with a patient's pure tone thresholds refl...

Pure Tone Audiometry

Pure tone audiometry is the standard behavioral assessment of an individual’s hearing. The results of pure tone audiometry are recorded on a chart or form called an audiogram. In most cases a pure tone audiogram is easy to obtain and provides information about peripheral hearing acuity across the frequencies used in speech. It allows for a quick view of how well, or how poorly, an individual ca...

Pure Tone Audiometer

Estimation of pure tone hearing threshold is a part of hearing tests conducted in order to know the sensitivity of the human auditory system. This paper presents manual audiometer implemented in Matlab which can be used to conduct such measurements. Audiometer was calibrated by means of an artificial ear and pistonphone. Modified Hughson-Westlake method [1] usually used in manual audiometry is ...

Off-response to pure tone burst is affected by the previous pure tone intensity

The auditory magnetic brain response, N1m, which is defined as a magnetic deflection occurring about 100 ms after the tone onset, varies depending on the stimulus interval. Hari et al. [1] measured the N1m responses to the onset of a 0.55-s white noise burst with four Stimulus Onset Asynchrony (SOA: 1.1, 2.2, 4.4, and 8.8 s) in different blocks. The results of their experiments indicated that t...
