Abstract

The “fatigue” of the acoustic reflex of the middle ear using pure tones and square-wave-modulated pure tones is studied and compared with TTS for the same subjects after stimulation with broad-band noise. Close correlation has been shown between the TTS and the latency time, the rise time and the degree of the reflex for very short tone pulses.
