Audiometry and Immittance

Tympanograms are type A.

Acoustic reflex thesholds are as follows:

500 Hz 1000 Hz 2000 Hz 4000 Hz
Right Ipsi 80? 80? 75? 75?
Right Contra NR NR NR NR
Left Ipsi 95 90 95 100
Left Contra 85 80 85?

There were inconsistencies in the reflex pattern – there were deflections in the negative direction as well as positive making some of the reflex results difficult to interpret.  Those are marked with a question mark in the table above.

  • How would you characterize the reflex findings?

Example:

The audiogram is shown below.

  • Why were so many frequencies – up to 16 kHz -tested?

 

  • Discuss the speech test results.  Calculate the rollover index.  (SRTs were 20 dB HL right, 30 dB HL left.)
