Procedure for Defining the Auditory Area of Hearing Impaired Adolescents with Severe/Profound Hearing Loss I: Detection Thresholds

Procedure for Defining the Auditory Area of Hearing Impaired Adolescents with Severe/Profound Hearing Loss I: Detection Thresholds

Detection thresholds (DTs) obtained with a modified Pascoe procedure were compared to those obtained with a conventional audiometric procedure at 500 & 2,000 Hz (N = 10 severely /profoundly hearing-impaired adolescents, aged 12-19). DTs were obtained from Ss on three different occasions. The mod...

Zusammenfassung:Detection thresholds (DTs) obtained with a modified Pascoe procedure were compared to those obtained with a conventional audiometric procedure at 500 & 2,000 Hz (N = 10 severely /profoundly hearing-impaired adolescents, aged 12-19). DTs were obtained from Ss on three different occasions. The modified Pascoe procedure consisted of an ascending method of limits embedded into a one observation interval forced-choice loudness rating paradigm. Results indicate that the within-session & across-session intra-S variability observed with the modified Pascoe procedure was sufficiently small to recommend the implementation of this psycho-physical procedure clinically. 1 Table, 5 Figures, 30 References.
