Feb 29, 2024 · This result supports the accuracy of the recorded response in the poorer ear, and this also indicates the absence of nonorganic hearing loss. In the example mentioned above, a Stenger test must be ...

Nov 24, 2021 · Stenger testing can also be performed on some audiometers with speech material. Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT) tests use spondaic words to obtain thresholds for speech reception. If, once this is obtained, and a gap of 20 dB or more is present between ears, a speech Stenger test can be performed, just like the tone Stenger testing.
Mar 1, 2023 · A Stenger test may be used to assess for malingering in a unilateral or asymmetric hearing loss by observing how the patient responds to a pure tone presented simultaneously to both ears when one tone is easily audible in the better-hearing ear but is quieter than the apparent threshold in the ear with greater hearing loss.

Nonorganic hearing loss (NOHL) is a condition inwhich there is an apparent hearing loss with no evidenceof a known disorder or insufficient evidence to explain it.Different terminologies are used to define the same phenomenonin the literature, including pseudohypacusis,functional hearing loss, malingering and exaggeratedhearing loss . Less than 2% ...
The study was performed between October 2011and February 2013. Ethics committee approval wasreceived at 22.02.2013 with 8000-17-13 assignmentnumber. 474 male candidates had already been evaluatedand referred to our department with questionableprofound or total hearing loss. Informed consent was receivedfrom all the subjects. All subjects have under...
The term NOHL points to the fact that total hearingloss has both functional and organic components.In other words, functional loss is superimposed on anorganic hearing loss . The term ‘exaggerated hearingloss’ may seem more appropriate. These subjects areconsidered to feign hearing loss intentionally or to exaggeratethe symptoms. Occasionally the s...

The individual will deny hearing anything if he/she is a malingerer. An individual with true hearing loss should continue to hear the sound on the better hearing side. Alternatively, this test can be performed more accurately using a two-channel audiometer using pure tone signals. [3]
Feb 11, 2022 · The Stenger test is based on the auditory phenomenon “The Stenger Principle” and is used when a patient is suspected malingering a hearing loss. The Stenger Principle states that only the louder of two similar tones presented to both ears at the same time will be perceived. Generally, it is recommended only to perform the Stenger test in ...

May 30, 2024 · Causes of asymmetric hearing loss can vary and sometimes even remain a mystery. Some common culprits include: Firearms or loud sound exposure: Exposure to loud noises, such as firearms, can damage the delicate hair cells in the inner ear, leading to hearing loss. Also known as shooter's ear, asymmetry in hearing is a not-so-uncommon occurrence ...
