摘要：
When applied as a tool for hearing aid fitting, categorical loudness scaling (CLS) is time consuming and not feasible in all subjects. It is therefore desirable to use objective measures for accurate prediction of loudness categories among hearing-impaired individuals. The present study aimed at exploring whether loudness perception at the ART is constant with varying hearing threshold. Seventy-five subjects with various degrees of hearing impairment, measurable acoustic reflex and normal middle ear function participated. The HTLs, ARTs and the Levels of six loudness categories at frequencies 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz were determined for all subjects. Loudness at the ART was found to be correlated with the amount of hearing loss. On the basis of these results, it is concluded that the ART cannot be used for accurate estimation of loudness in hearing-impaired subjects.
