순음청력검사를 이용한 사청 예측

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pseudohypacusis(malingering deafness) are exaggerate a hearing loss when secondary personal gains or other issues are involved from having a hearing loss. In most commonly encountered in adult. With improvement of socioeconomical background, an interest in health and activation of hearing conservation program, people more frequently meet with chance of audiological assessment. This situation change naturally, increasingly evoked motivation of pseudohypacusis. and also increase in case of after trauma for the purpose of financial compensation. It could judge pseudohypacusis by various conventional audiological assessment that were discrepancy between hearing threshold level of pure tone and speech audiometry or repeated pure tone audiometry. Objective audiological procedure are also useful tool for detection of pseudohypacusis. In this study, it is considered about only case of unilateral pseudohypacusis of subject with tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss that is worse in left ear than in right ear after traffic accident. Air conduction(AC) hearing threshold level(HTL) of ascending and descending method of pure tone audiometry were comparatively consistency at all test frequencies. But We predicted pseudohypacusis because discrepancy of masked AC and bone conduction(BC) HTL were shown. Finally, We certified pseudohypacusis through speech audiometry and auditory brainstem response.
