Background: Hearing threshold estimation based on cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) has been applied for some decades.

Abstract:
Behavioral thresholds define the lowest stimulus intensities sufficient to elicit a behavioral response. Establishment of baseline behavioral thresholds during development is critical for proper responses throughout the animal’s life. Despite the relevance of such innate thresholds, the molecular mechanisms critical to establishing behavioral thresholds during development are not well understood. The acoustic startle response is a conserved behavior whose threshold is established during development yet is subsequently acutely regulated.

AbstractDark-adapted thresholds of albino and pigmented rats were estimated using behavioral methods. Albino and pigmented rats who had been water deprived learned to bar press for water reinforcement when a light stimulus was presented. Absolute threshold was defined to be the light intensity at which bar pressing behavior was significantly modified by the presence of the light stimulus. Albino rats had an average threshold of −5.23 log cd/m2 and the pigmented rats had a threshold of −5.0 log cd/m2. These values are close to −5.3 log cd/m2, the psychophysical threshold of human observers in t

Abstract:
Different methods of producing the auditory steady state response (ASSR) are used to test dolphin hearing, but each method affects the resulting ASSR threshold.

Sinusoidal amplitude modulated (SAM) tones or tone pip trains were presented to the dolphins through a contact transducer while they were in air or partially submerged under water.

Patients suffering from conductive or mixed hearing loss may benefit from bone-conduction hearing systems (BAHS). The amount of amplification provided by the hearing system is selected based on the individual’s sensorineural frequency-specific threshold.

The VEP thresholds agree with behavioral data from pigmented mice made by others. The mouse VEP thresholds are close to the VEP thresholds in rats and the psychophysical thresholds of two human observers.

Abstract:
More than 30,000 hearing-impaired human subjects have learned to use cochlear implants for speech perception and speech discrimination. To understand the basic mechanisms underlying the successful application of contemporary speech processing strategies, it is important to investigate how complex electrical stimuli delivered to the cochlea are processed and represented in the central auditory system. A deaf animal model has been developed that allows direct comparison of psychophysical thresholds with central auditory neuronal thresholds to temporally modulated intracochlear electrical signals

Abstract:
The determination of auditory thresholds by means of behavioral techniques in young infants can be difficult. This could be the result of limitations in methodology, a lack of observable auditory responsiveness, or both. In the current study, 2- and 4-month old infants were tested under enhanced conditions for obtaining behavioral responses (i.e., salient auditory stimuli, reduced visual distractions, reinforced correct responses). A two-interval, forced-choice task with four intensity levels was used. Although a behavioral threshold was obtained for the 4-month-olds, threshold determination f

Abstract:
Background: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is used to estimate behavioral hearing thresholds in infants and difficult-to-test populations. Differences between the toneburst ABR and behavioral thresholds exist making the correspondence between the two measures less than perfect. Some authors have suggested that corrections be applied to ABR thresholds to account for these differences. However, because there is no agreed upon universal standard, confusion regarding the use of corrections exists.

This retrospective study examines the relationship between auditory steady-state evoked potential (ASSEP) thresholds determined in infancy and subsequently obtained behavioral hearing levels in children with normal hearing or varying degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. Overall, the results from 211 subjects showed that the two test techniques were highly correlated, with Pearson r values exceeding .95 at each of the audiometric test frequencies between 500 and 4000 Hz.

Abstract Introduction Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) can be helpful in estimating the hearing thresholds by extrapolating the DPOAE input/output function with the help of scissor paradigm, and thus the following study aims at assessing its reliability by comparing DPOAE thresholds with those obtained by behavioral responses at pure tones on various frequencies. Materials and Methods Fifty participants having normal hearing sensitivity were included in the study. Pure tone (PT) audiometry was carried out on all participants to determine PT thresholds in both ears. DPOAE thres

AbstractMany psychophysical studies of various visual tasks show that performance is generally better for binocular than for monocular observation. To investigate the physiological basis of this binocular advantage, we have recorded, under monocular and binocular stimulation, contrast response functions for single cells in the striate cortex of anesthetized and paralyzed cats. We applied receiver operating characteristic analysis to our data to obtain monocular and binocular neurometric functions for each cell. A contrast threshold and a slope were extracted from each neurometric function and

Abstract:
Uncertainties regarding the generation mechanism and source of human stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs), as well as the possible generation of artifacts, have previously restricted the use of SFOAEs in clinical settings for assessing cochlear function. Over the years, advanced time-frequency analysis of SFOAEs, using models of SFOAE delays as a function of frequency, have been implemented in an effort to isolate the long-latency (LL) component of SFOAEs—improving the signal-to-noise ratio and the artifact rejection as noteworthy byproducts.

Chronic electrodes, placed on the round windows of four adult chinchillas, were used to measure whole-nerve action potential (AP) thresholds and tuning curves. The AP quiet thresholds were within 17 dB of thresholds measured by behavioral methods and within 3 dB of those measured by other evoked response procedures. The AP tuning curves, obtained by a simultaneous masking procedure, were also similar to previously measured tuning curves in the chinchilla. These results indicate that long-term indwelling electrodes can be successfully placed on the chinchilla round window and used to measure th

The P3 was obtained more often at behavioral threshold and 5 dB SL than N1 and P2 late potentials. The P3 was larger in amplitude than either the N1 or the P2 at threshold and for 75 dB SPL stimuli. In comparing P3s obtained at threshold and for the 75 dB stimuli, significant effects were noted in

Abstract:
The present study investigated physiological correlates of the time-intensity trading relationship in late components (N1, P2) of the auditory evoked potential. Late-potential and behavioral thresholds were estimated in five normal-hearing, young adult participants for 1000- and 4000-Hz tone bursts having durations of 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 ms. The results showed that late-potential thresholds decreased by an average of 24 dB for 1000-Hz conditions and 18 dB for 4000-Hz conditions. Behavioral thresholds also improved by about 22 dB and 18 dB for 1000-Hz and 4000-Hz conditions, respectively. Th
