Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the measurement of the acoustic stapedius reflex threshold (ART) obtained using a traditional method with that obtained using an automated adaptive wideband (AAW) method. Participants included three groups of adults with normal hearing (NH), mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), or moderate SNHL. The purpose of the study was to compare ARTs for the three groups and to determine which method had the best performance in detecting SNHL. DESIGN Ipsilateral and contralateral ARTs were obtained using 0.5, 1, and 2 kHz tonal activators, and broadband noise (BBN) activators on a traditional admittance system (Clinical) at tympanometric peak pressures (TPP) and on an experimental wideband system using an AAW method at both ambient pressure and TPP. ART data previously reported for 39 NH adults with a mean age of 47.7 years were compared with data for 25 participants with mild SNHL with a mean age of 63.8 years, and 20 participants with moderate SNHL with a mean age of 65.7 years. Differences in ARTs between the normal-hearing and SNHL groups for the three methods were examined using a General Linear Model Repeated-Measures test. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was also used to determine the ability of an ART test to detect SNHL. RESULTS For the 0.5 kHz activator condition, there were no significant group mean differences in ART between NH and SNHL groups for either ipsilateral or contralateral activator presentation modes for the Clinical or AAW methods. There were significant group mean differences for the 1 and 2 kHz tonal activators and BBN activator for both ipsilateral and contralateral modes with greater differences in ART between groups for the AAW method than the Clinical method. In these conditions, the mean ART was lower for the AAW tests relative to the Clinical test. The greatest difference between groups was for the ipsilateral AAW tests for the comparison of NH with moderate SNHL for the BBN activator. This difference was approximately 20 dB for the AAW tests and 8 dB for the Clinical test. The ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) increased with the frequency of the activator stimulus and with the degree of hearing loss and was maximal for the BBN activator for both the AAW and Clinical methods for both ipsilateral and contralateral presentations. CONCLUSIONS For ipsilateral and contralateral ART tests for activator frequencies above 0.5 kHz and BBN, listeners with SNHL generally had elevated ARTs compared with those with NH. The AAW method resulted in greater differences between SNHL groups and NH than the Clinical method. The AUC for detecting SNHL also increased with activator frequency and degree of hearing loss and was greatest for the BBN activator for the AAW method in both the ambient and TPP conditions. The results are encouraging for the use of an AAW ART method for the assessment of individuals with SNHL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acoustic stapedius reflex threshold (ART) tests are included in a standard clinical acoustic immittance test battery as an objective cross-check with behavioral results and to help identify site of lesion. In traditional clinical test batteries, middle-ear admittance of a 226 Hz probe is estimated using ear-canal measurements in the presence of a reflex-activating stimulus. In the wideband (WB) acoustic immittance ART test used in this study, the pure-tone probe is replaced by a WB probe stimulus and changes in absorbed power are estimated using ear-canal measurements in the presence of the activator. The ART is defined as the lowest level at which a criterion change in admittance (clinical) or absorbed power (WB) is observed in the presence of the activator. In the present study, ARTs were obtained in adults with normal hearing using the clinical, manual method and with a new WB automated adaptive threshold detection method. It was hypothesized that the WB test would result in lower ARTs than the clinical test because reflex-related changes in power absorbance could be observed across multiple frequency bands in the WB test compared with a single frequency in the traditional test. DESIGN Data were collected in a prospective research design. ARTs were obtained in ipsilateral and contralateral conditions using 500, 1000, 2000 Hz, and broadband noise (BBN) activators on a clinical system and on an experimental WB system. The bandwidth of the BBN activator was 125 to 4000 Hz on the clinical system and 200 to 8000 Hz on the wideband system. ARTs were estimated at both tympanometric peak pressure (TPP) and ambient pressure on the WB system. Data were collected in both ears of 39 adults (21 males) of mean age 47.7 years (range 23-72 years). Differences in ARTs among the three threshold estimation methods (clinical, WB at TPP, WB at ambient) were examined using the general linear model repeated measures test in SPSS. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons were completed with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05 for all analyses. RESULTS ARTs obtained on the WB system at TPP and ambient pressure were significantly lower than obtained on the clinical system. ARTs obtained on the WB system at TPP were significantly higher than at ambient pressure in the 500 and 2000 Hz ipsilateral conditions. CONCLUSIONS WB automated adaptive ARTs in normal-hearing adults were lower than for clinical methods when measured at TPP and ambient pressure. Lower presentation levels required to estimate ART in the WB test may be more tolerable to patients. Patients with ARTs that are not present at the maximum level of a traditional reflex test may have present ARTs with a WB ART test, which may reduce the need to refer for additional testing for possible retrocochlear involvement. Automation of the test may allow clinicians more time to attend to the other requisite tasks of a hearing evaluation and make the system useful for telehealth applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Auditory processing disorder (APD) in children has been reported and discussed in the clinical and research literature for many years yet there remains poor agreement on diagnostic criteria, the relationship between APD and cognitive skills, and the importance of assessing underlying neural integrity. PURPOSE The present study used a repeated measures design to examine the relationship between a clinical APD diagnosis achieved with behavioral tests used in many clinics, cognitive abilities measured with standardized tests of intelligence, academic achievement, language, phonology, memory and attention and measures of auditory neural integrity as measured with acoustic reflex thresholds and auditory brainstem responses. METHOD Participants were 63 children, 7-17 years of age, who reported listening difficulties in spite of normal hearing thresholds. Parents/guardians completed surveys about the child's auditory and attention behavior while children completed an audiologic examination that included 5 behavioral tests of auditory processing ability. Standardized tests that examined intelligence, academic achievement, language, phonology, memory and attention, and objective tests auditory function included crossed and uncrossed acoustic reflex thresholds and auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were also administered to each child. RESULTS Forty of the children received an APD diagnosis based on the 5 behavioral tests and 23 did not. The groups of children performed similarly on intelligence measures but the children with an APD diagnosis tended to perform more poorly on other cognitive measures. Auditory brainstem responses and acoustic reflex thresholds were often abnormal in both groups of children. SUMMARY Results of this study suggest that a purely behavioral test battery may be insufficient to accurately identify all children with auditory processing disorders. Physiologic test measures, including acoustic reflex and auditory brainstem response tests, are important indicators of auditory function and may be the only indication of a problem. The results also suggest that performance on behavioral APD tests may be strongly influenced by the child's language levels.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between otoscopic tympanic membrane abnormalities, results of impedanace and extended-high-frequency audiometry in subjects with history of treatment of secretory otitis media (SOM) and ventilation tube insertion. MATERIAL AND METHODS 97 subjects treated because of SOM were examined in years 1999-2000. Videootoscopic examinations, extended-high-frequency audiometry and tympanometry with ispilateral acoustic reflex were performed in each patient. The results were analysed in three groups: no otoscopic abnormalities (BZO), retraction pockets (KR) and atrophy and myringosclerosis (AM). The results were compared to otologicaly healthy control group in the same age. RESULTS The most common tympanic membrane abnormality were focal atrophy (64.7%) of ears and myringosclerosis (37.2%). Mean pure-tone audiometric threshold were significantly higher in groups KR and AM than in control and BZO groups. Low degree of positive correlation was found between the presence of myringosclerosis and atrophy and audiometric thresholds above 1 kHz. No such correlation was observed with the presence of retraction pockets. In the BZO group middle ear admittance was observed significantly higher than in control group. The absent ipsilateral stapedial reflex was observed in 10.8% ears in BZO group, 16.9% in AM and 33.3% in KR. No correlation was found between the parameters of tympanometric evaluation and results of extended-high-frequency audiometry. CONCLUSIONS In ears treated because of SOM with ventilation tube insertion the middle ear compliance is higher. In the presence of myringosclerosis and atrophy higher audiometric thresholds are observed. Tympanic membrane abnormalities have been more clearly indicated by the absent ipsilateral stapedial reflex than tympanometry.

Wideband acoustic-reflex test in a test battery to predict middle-ear dysfunction. Hear Res 2009; 263:52-65.

Abstract
A wideband (WB) aural acoustical test battery of middle-ear status, including acoustic-reflex thresholds (ARTs) and acoustic-transfer functions (ATFs, i.e., absorbance and admittance) was hypothesized to be more accurate than 1-kHz tympanometry in classifying ears that pass or refer on a newborn hearing screening (NHS) protocol based on otoacoustic emissions. Assessment of middle-ear status may improve NHS programs by identifying conductive dysfunction and cases in which auditory neuropathy exists. Ipsilateral ARTs were assessed with a stimulus including four broadband-noise or tonal activator pulses alternating with five clicks presented before, between and after the pulses. The reflex shift was defined as the difference between final and initial click responses. ARTs were measured using maximum likelihood both at low frequencies (0.8-2.8 kHz) and high (2.8-8 kHz). The median low-frequency ART was elevated by 24 dB in NHS refers compared to passes. An optimal combination of ATF and ART tests performed better than either test alone in predicting NHS outcomes, and WB tests performed better than 1-kHz tympanometry. Medial olivocochlear efferent shifts in cochlear function may influence ARs, but their presence would also be consistent with normal conductive function. Baseline clinical and WB ARTs were also compared in ipsilateral and contralateral measurements in adults.

Abstract
Previous research has found that childhood otitis media leads to elevated adulthood acoustic reflex thresholds because of worsened audiometric thresholds in the stimulation ear, and abnormality of the tympanic membrane in the ear from which acoustic reflexes were measured. To confirm and expand this finding, our research utilized longitudinal data from 631 general-population-sampled children assessed between ages 5 and 15. Otitis media was assessed to age 9, audiometric thresholds were measured at age 11, and otoscopy and acoustic reflex thresholds testing were performed at age 15. Our findings support the earlier research, in that acoustic reflex threshold was higher in those with the worst experience of childhood otitis media. However, this was directly mediated not by audiometric threshold in the ear to which the stimulus was delivered, but by the amount of tympanic membrane abnormality in both the stimulus and probe ears. This appeared to have an effect independent of audiometric threshold. Furthermore, only those who suffered the worst, persistent, binaural childhood otitis media showed raised acoustic reflex thresholds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electric stapedius reflex thresholds are helpful in programming cochlear implants, but only approximately two-thirds of patients have identifiable reflexes. HYPOTHESIS Childhood otitis media correlates with absent stapedius reflexes or with high electric stimulation needed to elicit a reflex in cochlear implantees. STUDY POPULATION Twenty-five adults with acquired hearing loss who underwent implantation with the MED-EL COMBI 40+ standard electrode array. STUDY PARAMETERS: The extent of temporal bone pneumatization, an indicator of childhood otitis media, was measured from preoperative computed tomographic images. Clinical units (in microamperes) needed to elicit a contralateral stapedius reflex, or maximum stimulation tried, were recorded. RESULTS No definite association of pneumatization volume with intensity of stimulation was observed. The null hypothesis of no association cannot be rejected. CONCLUSION Childhood otitis media does not seem to explain absent electric stapedius reflexes and the wide range of clinical units needed for maximum comfortable loudness level. Remaining potential explanations probably include the wide range of cochlear neurons that can be electrically stimulated, and that the maximum tolerable stimulation is too low to elicit a stapedius reflex.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new method for estimating the acoustic reflex threshold incorporating wideband (250-8000 Hz) measures of energy reflectance and admittance (M. P. Feeney & D. H. Keefe, 2001). The wideband technique incorporates both a correlation method to assess the pattern of the reflex-induced shifts in reflectance and admittance across frequency and a magnitude method to determine if the amplitude of the shifts exceeds baseline variability. Contralateral reflex thresholds for 1000- and 2000-Hz activators were obtained for 34 young adults with both the wideband method and a clinical method using a 226 Hz probe tone. Average reflex thresholds obtained with the new method were 12 to 13.7 dB lower than than obtained with the clinical method. When the bandwidth of analysis of admittance and reflectance responses was limited to 250 to 2000 Hz, the reduction in reflex thresholds was accompanied by the rejection of 96% of nonactivator-baseline responses as reflexes. The method holds promise for extending reflex threshold testing to patients with reflexes elevated beyond current equipment limits, for reducing the sound levels used in reflex testing, and for obtaining sensitive measures of reflex threshold in infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A method was developed to estimate the contralateral acoustic reflex threshold using shifts in wideband energy reflectance, admittance magnitude and power. DESIGN In the first experiment contralateral reflex thresholds for a noise activator were estimated on three adult participants using reflectance, admittance and power measurements at frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hz. The reflex threshold was defined using a magnitude and a correlation technique, both having the property of examining the pattern of the reflex-induced shift across a fairly broad frequency range (250 to 2000 Hz). In the second experiment, the magnitude method was modified to include an F test for the comparison of the magnitude of reflex-induced shifts in reflectance, admittance and power relative to response differences in a no-activator baseline condition. Data from four additional participants then were analyzed across a broader frequency range using a method that combined magnitude and correlation methods of estimating reflex thresholds. RESULTS Acoustic reflex thresholds were obtained using reflectance, admittance and power-level measures in all subjects in both experiments. Individual reflex threshold estimates were as much as 24 dB lower than with the clinical system, with an average of approximately 14 dB lower for the three participants in the first experiment, and approximately 18 dB lower for the four participants in the second experiment. CONCLUSIONS Wideband measures of reflectance, admittance and power were successfully used to estimate acoustic reflex thresholds in seven participants. A reflex threshold test was devised based on the magnitude of the response shift in the presence of a contralateral activator, and the similarity of the response shift spectra across frequency between successive activator levels. Across all participants in the study, the new test yielded a more sensitive measure of the acoustic reflex threshold than the clinical method. This finding has both clinical and theoretical implications for the study of the acoustic reflex.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the potential of the acoustic reflex threshold (ART) as a predictor of the uncomfortable level (ULL) and to identify related areas for investigations in the future. Eleven studies reporting data from 141 normally-hearing and 240 impaired hearing subjects have been reviewed, focusing on methods, test conditions and subjects. Results and conclusions are discussed and new calculations have been performed on the reported data. The median difference between ART and ULL across studies and frequencies was 5 dB both in normally-hearing and impaired subjects. Some authors argue, that although a close relationship of mean values of the two measurements may exist, prediction of the ULL based on ART measurement will be inaccurate because of high inter-subject variability. A statistically significant correlation exists between the mean HTL, the mean ART and the mean ULL in impaired hearing, while a relationship between the mean ART and the mean ULL does not exist in normal hearing. Based on pooled data across frequencies from the reviewed studies the mean ULL= (0.64 x mean ART+38) dB HL. The discrepancies between the results found in the reviewed studies may be explained by different instructions and stimulus presentation orders when assessing the ULL, difficulty in assessing the sound pressure level in the ear canal, influence of varying background noise levels and different admission criteria. It is recommended that the relationship between different loudness levels and the ART be investigated in normally-hearing subjects and in subjects with different levels of impairment, using standardized instructions. To further provide uniformity of the test material groups should be selected according to history of middle ear diseases and the use of hearing aids.
