Abstract
• Three different formulas used in predicting hearing level from acoustic reflex data have been suggested. Acoustic reflex information is also used in predicting slope of hearing loss. Seventy-four normal and hearingimpaired persons were tested, and predictions of level and slope of hearing were compared with pure tone hearing thresholds. The results indicate that the Niemeyer-Sesterhenn and Jerger unweighted formulas yield comparable results and are preferable to the Jerger weighted formula. Predictions of slope of hearing loss are equivocal. (Arch Otolaryngol 103:419-424, 1977)Keywords
