Abstract

Recent work using the Threshold Equalizing Noise (TEN) test as a gold standard suggests that the presence of cochlear dead regions in persons with moderate-to-severe hearing loss may be quite common. In addition, previous data suggest that certain characteristics of hearing loss, such as severe-profound high-frequency hearing loss or steeply sloping configurations may be more commonly associated with positive TEN findings. These findings, however, are based largely on studies including a relatively small number of participants and/or participants that were included based on specific audiometric criteria (e.g., the presence of severe high-frequency hearing loss). Likewise, results from many of these studies are limited to the frequency regions of 500-4000 Hz. There has been less work that has systematically evaluated the relationship between audiometric characteristics and TEN test findings, particularly in the frequency regions above 4000 Hz, on a large number of individuals with a wide range of hearing losses and hearing loss configurations. The purpose of this study was to further examine the effects of audiometric characteristics such as degree and slope of hearing loss on the rate of positive, negative, and inconclusive fin...Continue Reading
