| ABSTRACT |
|
This study was to establish the estimates of MCL (Most Comfortable Level), UCL (UnComfortable Level), and DR
(Dynamic Range) using different stimuli. There are several types of stimulus; 1) pure tone of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4
kHz, 2) narrow band noise of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 kHz, 3) monosyllabic words, 4) bisyllabic words, 5) sentence, and
6) speech noise. 40 ears (10 males and 10 females) with normal hearing and without sound tolerance problems were
calculated and the average of the participants’ age was 20.30±1.66 years old. Stimulus was presented by TDH- 39
headphone and 5 dB steps of ascending method above threshold using pure tone average or speech recognition
threshold continuing to the uncomfortable loud level. The nine categories of scaling were used from very soft to
painfully loud. The results were as follows: 1) MCL and UCL were showed differences significantly(p < .05) with
stimulus type, 2) MCL and UCL of using NBN stimuli were higher than pure tone, speech stimulus (monosyllabic
words, bisyllabic words, sentence) were the highest UCL, 3) MCL and UCL were recommended recordings by both
ears. These results can be useful for considering different stimuli according to subject’s sound sensitivity and
different situations. |
