[Tinnitus measurement with conventional audiometer versus high-frequency audiometer].

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Determinations of the psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus (frequency and intensity) are valid for diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and research purposes. The aim of this work is to compare the frequency of the tinnitus measured with a standard audiometer and a high frequency audiometer. METHODS We used a conventional audiometer (frequency range: 125-12,000 H...

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 ...

It argues that the Aboriginal mother characters in Stolen endeavour to engage in maternal practices even after their children are taken from them. The act of a non-Aboriginal person speaking about Aboriginal representation is acknowledged as problematic. Further, this paper proposes that i...

Clinical validation of the AMTAS automated audiometer.

OBJECTIVE To validate the air- and bone-conduction AMTAS automated audiometry system. DESIGN Prospective study. Test-retest reliability was determined by assessing adults with AMTAS air- and bone-conduction audiometry. Accuracy was determined by comparing AMTAS and manual audiometry conducted on adults. AMTAS testing was conducted in a quiet room and manual audiometry in a sound booth. STUD...
