Threshold Measurement Procedures in Brief-Tone Audiometry

Herbert H. Lehman College of the City University of New York, Bronx, New York

Two methods for determining brief-tone audiometric thresholds (at 1000 Hz) were investigated to assess the test-retest reliability and variability of each method. The results indicated that both methods (Bekesy-type tracking with either 1 or 2 dB/sec attenuation rates or the method of adjustment) yielded equivalent thresholds, variability, and reliability data. However, practical considerations dictated that the 2 dB/sec rate was best suited for future clinical application. Individual temporal integration functions for 20 normal-hearing subjects were presented and discussed in relation to their variability and to functions produced by hearing-impaired listeners.
