Test-retest reliability of auditory threshold and temporary threshold shift.
Test-retest reliability of auditory threshold and temporary threshold shift (TTS) at 4 kHz and 8 kHz was examined. Twenty normally hearing subjects were exposed to a 3-min 110 dBSPL white noise on three occasions. Results indicated reduced reliability of both threshold and TTS scores over time, rendering 1-week TTS correlations non-significant.
