The influence of RECD transducer when deriving real-ear sound pressure level.

abstract：:A computer-automated, threshold-tracking procedure was developed for measuring evoked response thresholds on-line. The procedure utilizes an objective detection criterion (correlation) to evaluate whether a response is absent or present. Sound intensity is adjusted according to a modified PEST (parameter estimation by...
