Résumé : | Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a user-friendly way of measuring patients threshold and supra-threshold hearing, with potential for application in clinical research. The end-product of these tests is a graphical profile summarizing absolute threshold, frequency selectivity, and compression characteristics across a spectrum of frequencies (0.256 kHz). Design: A battery of three psychophysical hearing tests consisted of measures of absolute threshold, frequency selectivity, and compression. An automated, cued, single-interval, adaptive tracking procedure was employed. The tests results were collated and used to generate a readily visualized profile for each listener. Study sample: Participants were 83 adults (57 impaired-hearing and 26 good-hearing, age 2075 years). Results: Listeners tolerated the tests well. Single-ear profiles were obtained in an average of 74 minutes testing time (range 46120 minutes). The variability of individual measurements was low. Substantial differences between normal and impaired listeners and also among the impaired listeners were observed. Qualitative differences in compression and frequency-selectivity were seen that could not be predicted by threshold measurements alone. Conclusions: The hearing profiles are informative with respect to supra-threshold hearing performance and the information is easily accessible through the graphical display. Further development is required for routine use in a clinical context. |
