The clinician did not present reflex-eliciting stimuli below 90 dB HL.
- Is there any time when the finding of a reflex threshold lower than 90 vs “present at 90 dB HL” would alter a clinical decision?
- Note that the broad-band noise reflex was elicited even at 80 and 85 dB HL. What is the significance of this low reflex threshold?
- Complete the reflex tables at the bottom of the page.
- Describe the reflex decay findings.
