Dear Ted :) would you mind to create a video about Clinical Masking and decay test ? Thank you for your message in advance 👏🏻👏🏻Keep This amazing job upxxx
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:21 🧠 *The acoustic reflex test is part of tympanometry, evaluating the auditory pathway from outer ear to brainstem.* 02:44 🎤 *Acoustic reflexes exist to diminish the loudness of our own voices while speaking, aiding in better hearing of surrounding sounds.* 05:27 📉 *Acoustic reflexes are tested after determining the air pressure at which the middle ear is most efficient, with a reduction in compliance indicating reflex activation.* 06:17 🔊 *Contralateral and ipsilateral acoustic reflexes are measured, respectively involving sound input to opposite and same ears.* 09:29 🦻 *Normal hearing individuals should exhibit acoustic reflexes at around 85 to 100 dB HL, absent in conductive hearing loss and severely impaired in eighth nerve tumors.* Made with HARPA AI
How would the AR make a positive difference in terms of hearing a snapping twig while talking? The attenuation provided wouldn't do anything to change the relative perceived level of your voice vs. the sound of the twig, no?
I have hearing loss above 2khz in both ears but hearing comes back at 5 to 7 khz. I feel that this is only happening at quiet sounds below conversational level. Is there a test to show frequency response at higher volumes above normal conversation levels.
I think it went down due to the contraction of muscles during the reflex. This stiffens ossicles and reduces the compliance... hence the loss of peak height.
So I'm reading my old reports from when i was diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder with possible neaurological involvement. What brought me to this was the part of testing that said i had completly absent acoustic reflexes. I get what he is saying i think. And i know how I'm effected anyways. Background noise is painfully annoying and distracting, also minor sounds are amplified. I can hear when people are talking shit about me lol when they think i can't, it's like their speaking into a mic (downside) I talk too loudly at times. Can someone explain this to me better. ?? Also i never looked into neaurological involvment due to pitch pattern test. (parents should have) Fast forward i am now 26 with mutiple symptoms and things with my health awaiting to see an endochrinolgist... I noticed when im working hearing going in and out and blocked ears frequently for no reason, but i have to be around people when this happens to notice talking/ around noise. Sinus issues with no explaination etc. My hearing was tested as normal (when i was 12...) I have that many specialists and a major car service due this is the last thing on my mind but also should have been followed up. And i had weird collapse seizure type episodes happen a few times in 2014 And report also said difficulty integrating information across sensory modalities was not ruled out. Just diagnosed with PCOS and also have osteopenia but a million other symptoms. I dont know how its possible for someone to have so many "seperate" issues. I was told it was likely systemic. And probably endochrine some of it. But this is the one i probably had since birth. Help anyone?? Lol. Feel like I'm falling apart and i need more work because a pension doesn't pay for these appointments but at sane time all this effects work! :(
You can have normal hearing and have absent reflexes. It does sound like you have an APD. Which hemisphere or corpus callosum? I don’t know without evaluating.
I think this test isnt for everyone. Rare cases. Especially because of the sound blasts (tones) right into your ear can be harmful. So if you have tinnitus or hyperacusis dont do this test!!! It can make your situation worse... 😥😥
