High-frequency hearing thresholds in young adults are repeatable. These results indicate reliable audiological assessments for high-frequency hearing sensitivity.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Hearing Science
  • Speech and Hearing Sciences

Background:

  • High-frequency hearing assessment is crucial for early detection of hearing loss.
  • Establishing test-retest reliability is essential for accurate audiological evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the repeatability of high-frequency (10-18 kHz) hearing thresholds in young adults.
  • To assess the clinical acceptability of high-frequency threshold measurements over time.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty young adults with normal low-frequency hearing participated.
  • Hearing thresholds were measured at 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 kHz across four sessions.
  • Sessions were spaced 1-2 weeks apart using a Beltone 2000 audiometer.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in thresholds were found between test sessions (p > 0.05).
  • Intrasubject high-frequency thresholds were repeatable within +/- 10 dB for 94% of ears.
  • Repeatability was consistent across frequencies and test session comparisons.

Conclusions:

  • High-frequency hearing thresholds in young adults with normal hearing are repeatable.
  • Audiometric measurements in the high-frequency range demonstrate clinical reliability.
