title: [Various uncomfortable loudness thresholds, their correlation and use in general practice].
abstract: In the present study we examined the relationship of the loudness discomfort level LDL of different signals. We carried out measurements in 97 patients, all of whom suffered from a sensorineural hearing loss. The results showed almost no difference between the LDL of pure tones and narrow band noise. The LDL of broad band noise showed a good correlation to the LDL of 250 Hz. Only the LDL of monosyllables ranged at a higher SPL. For an up-to-date hearing aid fitting, all forms of LDL should be taken into consideration. This is especially necessary when using digital hearing aids.
