The acoustic reflex (AR) is a subject that has been highly studied in the field of audiology. In fact, the physiology of the AR has been debated about since the 16th century. Historically and clinically the AR has been elicited with pure tone stimuli. In the 1970’s and 1980’s different eliciting stimuli were experimented with, such as: broadband noise (BBN), highband noise (HBN), lowband noise (LBN) and speech stimuli. The amplitude modulation of speech has made it difficult to record the acoustic reflex threshold (ART) due to the artifact that it creates on the measuring machine. When ecological validity, or the ability of the findings of the research to be applied to real-life setting, is taken into account, speech signals are the most valid of... view moreĀ»
