  • Title: Acoustic reflex threshold and loudness discomfort level: relationships in children with profound hearing losses.
    Author: Holmes DW, Woodford CM.
    Journal: J Am Audiol Soc; 1977; 2(6):193-6. PubMed ID: 893187.
    Abstract:
    Acoustic reflex thresholds (ART) and loudness discomfort levels (LDL) were obtained from 51 ears of 34 deaf children using broad band noise and pure tones. Both thresholds and levels were recorded using the psychophysical method of tracking. Results indicate that the relationship between ART and LDL is at variance with similar data for normal hearing individuals. Specifically, in over 39% of these deaf children LDL was obtained at a lower intensity than ART. Implications for hearing aid fitting with deaf children are discussed.
