[Comparison of auditory threshold and loudness in the Bing test]

The threshold and loudness comparison techniques of the Bing test were performed in a quantitative manner in both ears of 14 subjects. The results were related to their air-bone gap at 500 Hz. The study showed that the air-bone gap influenced a positive occlusion effect, but did not influence its subsequent magnitude. The magnitudes of the results of the occlusion test performed in these two ways were significantly related to each other.
