OBJECTIVE This study examined the statistical properties of normal air-conduction thresholds obtained with automated and manual audiometry to test the hypothesis that thresholds are normally distributed and to examine the distributions for evidence of bias in manual testing. DESIGN Four databases were mined for normal thresholds. One contained audiograms obtained with an automated method. The...

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...

Chronic tinnitus can often be temporally associated with a loss of sensorineural hearing. However, also occur in people normal hearing and thus arise without traceable disorder the inner ear. In present study, we tested whether fine-structure audiometry or high-resolution measurement otoacoustic emissions reveal evidence inner-ear-related disorders that remain undetected by conventional manual ...

The application of slow vertex response audiometry (cortical evoked response audiometry), mainly in the diagnosis of pseudohypoacusis, is reported. This procedure is of interest in forensic audiology.
