[On the interpretation of Békésy audiograms (author's transl)].
A group of 112 subjects with sensorineural hearing loss was checked by an audiological test battery consisting of: pure tone audiometry, SISI Test, tone decay test and fixed frequency Békésy audiometry. Classification of Békésy tracings by two audiologists showes good agreement when introducing a hybrid type I/II, which completes Jerger's classification system of types I--IV. The results of our investigation exhibit no significant differences of manual pure tone threshold and automatic tracing contrary to some other authors. Finally the correlation of diagnosis and type of Békésy audiogram is discussed.
