An experimenter would generally use an audiometer to find the auditory threshold of a subject.
2.
Also, phase-locked neural activity reflected in the FFR has been successfully used to predict auditory thresholds.
3.
Hazardous industrial noise can cause a permanent auditory threshold shift as excessive exposure to loud noises can damage the Hair cell s in the ear.
4.
In 1995, Lins and Picton found that simultaneous stimuli presented at rates in the 80 to 100 Hz range made it possible to obtain auditory thresholds.
5.
The ABR is used for newborn hearing screening, auditory threshold estimation, intraoperative monitoring, determining hearing loss type and degree, and auditory nerve and brainstem lesion detection, and in development of cochlear implants.
6.
Twenty one tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and ten significant abnormalities were observed, including sub-viability at weaning, decreased body weight, absent pinna reflex, abnormal snout, skull, spine and tooth morphology, atypical indirect calorimetry, body composition and plasma chemistry data, increased mean platelet volume and moderate elevations in auditory thresholds.
