Self-Recording Audiometry

Self-recording audiometry in industry.

Pelmear, P. L. and Hughes, Brenda J. (1974). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 31, 304-309. Self-recording audiometry in industry. A study of initial and repeat audiograms of 118 drop forge employees using fixed frequency self-recording audiometry showed that the mean of the differences at the test frequencies 0 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 kHz ranges from 0 47 dB to + 0-61 dB. The largest standa...

Validating self-reporting of hearing-related symptoms against pure-tone audiometry, otoacoustic emission, and speech audiometry.

OBJECTIVE To validate self-reported hearing-related symptoms among personnel exposed to moderately high occupational noise levels at an obstetrics clinic. DESIGN Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated for questionnaire items assessing hearing loss, tinnitus, sound sensitivity, poor hearing, difficulty perceiving speech, and sound-induced auditory fatigue. Hearing diso...

Validation of a Self-Administered Audiometry Application: An Equivalence Study.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To compare hearing measurements made at home using self-administered audiometric software against audiological tests performed on the same subjects in a clinical setting STUDY DESIGN Prospective, crossover equivalence study METHODS In experiment 1, adults with varying degrees of hearing loss (N = 19) performed air-conduction audiometry, frequency discrimination, and sp...

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...
