In-situ audiometry: How close is it to conventional audiometry?

Technology in the hearing aid industry is ever changing. One of the many features that may improve accuracy of hearing aid fi ttings and patients ’ satisfaction is the inception of in-situ audiometry, which allows the clinician to measure hearing thresholds with a hearing aid in the patient ’ s ear. Objective : The present study aimed to investigate the validity of in-situ audiometry measured w...

Response method in audiometry.

PURPOSE This study compared the speed, false-alarm rate, and participant preference of different response methods (raising a hand, pushing a response button, and giving an oral response) for measuring pure-tone thresholds. METHOD Thirty female university students with normal hearing participated. Response method order was randomly assigned to 6 different groups. Air-conduction thresholds were...

Specification and calibration of acoustic short-term stimuli for objective audiometry

Many applications in objective audiometry measure and evaluate responses of the hearing system to acoustic shortterm stimuli. One of the earliest and best known among these signals of short duration is the 'reference pulse' specified in standard IEC 60645-3. This definition of an electrical reference signal dates back to times when audiometric equipment essentially consisted of analogue compone...
