OBJECTIVES:: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis on the validity (test-retest reliability and accuracy) of automated threshold audiometry compared with the gold standard of manual threshold audiometry was conducted. DESIGN:: A systematic literature review was completed in peer-reviewed databases on automated compared with manual threshold audiometry. Subsequently a meta-analysis wa...

OBJECTIVE The majority of tinnitus patients suffer from hearing loss. But a subgroup of tinnitus patients show normal hearing thresholds in the conventional pure-tone audiometry (125 Hz-8 kHz). Here we explored whether the results of the high frequency audiometry (>8 kHz) provide relevant additional information in tinnitus patients with normal conventional audiometry by comparing those with nor...

Speech audiometry is one of the methods for evaluating hearing status, and recently it’s tended to be implemented on mobile phones with the development of internet and smart devices. Although several applications include the function of speech audiometry, the effectiveness of this function was rarely reported. In this work, we developed an Apple iOS-based application (Hearing Assistant) with fu...
