Correlation of numeric rating scale with pure tone audiogram for assessing hearing loss

A Pure Tone Audiogram for Students

Pure-tone octave masking in listeners with sensorineural hearing loss.

Pure-tone octave masking was investigated in 14 listeners with sensorineural hearing loss to examine the hypothesis that the sensorineural ear introduces abnormal harmonic distortion. Thresholds for a test signal at f2, masked by a masking signal at fl, (where fz = 2fl ) were obtained as a function of the level of the fl masker for four different ft frequencies (250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz) and...

Pure tone pitch perception and low-frequency hearing loss.

Pitch perception for pure tones was investigated in a group of listeners with low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Pitch judgments from each listener were compared with results from psycho-acoustic tasks which provide information on the "place" of cochlear response. The pitch measures employed were: (1) binaural pure-tone pitch matching in a listener with unilateral hearing loss, (2) octav...

Comparing pure-tone audiometry and auditory steady state response for the measurement of hearing loss.

OBJECTIVE To compare pure-tone audiometry and auditory steady state response (ASSR) to measure hearing loss based on the severity of hearing loss in frequencies. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A total of 105 subjects (168 ears, 64 male and 41 female) were enrolled in this study. We determined hearing level by measurement of pure-tone audiometry and ASSR on the same day for each subject. RESULTS P...

Temporal fine-structure cues to speech and pure tone modulation in observers with sensorineural hearing loss.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sensorineural hearing loss on the ability to make use of fine temporal information and to evaluate the relation between this ability and the ability to recognize speech. DESIGN Fourteen observers with normal hearing and 12 observers with sensorineural hearing loss were tested on open-set word recognition and on psychophysical ta...
