[Contralateral stapedial reflex in children, adults and high-frequency loss hearing impaired patients (author's...

Contralateral stapedius reflexes were measured in 332 patients. Results were analysed and statistically checked with regard to amplitude, slope of reflex in the recovery phase and partial and total reflex area. The results seem to indicate that none of the measure parameters have any direct diagnostic value. Optimal results measuring contralateral stapedius reflex are to be expected at 1000 Hz.
