What is speech audiometry? Speech audiometry, also known as speech testing, employs speech signals to assess if the patient has problems hearing speech or speech in noise. Speech audiometry can be us…
What is pure tone audiometry? Pure tone audiometry measures hearing sensitivity at various frequencies for air conduction and bone conduction. The test can specify the air conduction and bone conduct…
What is the Stenger test? The Stenger test is based on the auditory phenomenon “The Stenger Principle” and is used when a patient is suspected malingering a hearing loss. The Stenger Principle states…
What is the alternate binaural loudness balance (ABLB) test? The alternate binaural loudness balance (ABLB) test measures the perceived loudness differences between the ears and is designed for peopl…
What is the threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test? The threshold equalizing noise (TEN) test measures pure tone thresholds with a special masking noise called TEN.The TEN test is a quick and easy way…
What is the Hughson-Westlake procedure? The Hughson-Westlake procedure is an automated pure tone audiometry test. During the ascending portion of the tone presentation, the threshold of hearing is de…
What is the tone decay test? The tone decay test can help to identify the adaptation of the auditory system (Carhart, 1957). It involves measuring the perceptual reduction in a continuous tone over t…
What is the masking level difference (MLD)? The masking level difference (MLD) is the improvement in detecting a tone or speech in noise when the phase of the tone or the noise is reversed by 180 deg…
What is the short increment sensitivity index (SISI) test? The short increment sensitivity index (SISI) test measures the ability to recognise 1dB increases in intensity during a series of bursts of…
