Patients’ Perception of Amplitude (loudness) changes during audiological testing.

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to characterize the accuracy of patients’ perception of amplitude (loudness) changes during audiological testing. Specifically, we aim to determine patients’ ability to detect a decrease in loudness of a pulsed pure tone stimulus introduced at suprathreshold levels at different frequencies.
