Simulation and aggravation in audiometry

M. Pražić ; Otorinolaringološka klinika Medicinskog fakulteta, Zagreb

Abstract

In view of the data from the literature and his own experience the authot discusses the problem of simulation and aggravation in audiology. There are three methods of verifying simulation: (a) classical otological methods, (b) special audiometry, .and (c) methods of advanced audiometry and objective audiometry. Classical otological methods are not considered reliable and satisfactory; audiologic analysis may sometimes give good results; in most cases, however, the exact verification can only be obtained by using the methods of advanced audiometry and objective audiometry. In verifying aggravation special methods of supraliminal audiometry and objective audiometry should be used, because the routine audiometric tests have rarely proved successful.
