Total deafness: the need and possibility for a working definition.

M C Martin

    British Journal of Audiology
    |February 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Defining total hearing loss using audiometric thresholds is crucial for managing profound deafness. This study proposes specific audiometer outputs to ensure accurate measurements for deaf individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of hearing loss is essential for effective management.
    • Existing methods may lack sufficient acoustic output for profoundly deaf individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a feasible definition for total deafness based on audiometric thresholds.
    • To recommend specifications for audiometric instrumentation for profound hearing loss assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current audiological practices.
    • Proposal of maximum output values for audiometers.

    Main Results:

    • A definition for total hearing loss is proposed.
    • Specific recommendations for audiometer acoustic output are provided.

    Conclusions:

    • An agreed-upon definition and appropriate instrumentation will improve the management of profoundly deaf individuals.
    • Standardized audiometric measurements are vital for consistent diagnosis and treatment.
