Estimating intracluster correlation for ordinal data [PDF]
Purpose: In this paper we consider the estimation of intracluster correlation for ordinal data. We focus on pure-tone audiometry hearing threshold data, where thresholds are measured in 5 decibel increments. We estimate the intracluster correlation for tests from iPhone-based hearing assessment application as a measure of test/retest reliability ...

High Frequency Audiometry [PDF]
After a brief discussion of the past use of and clinical need for high frequency hearing tests, a new technique is described that uses a special electric transduction mode: a 60-kHz carrier frequency is modulated by the desired audiofrequency. The combined signal is applied to the skin over the mastoids by Mylar-covered electrodes.

Generalized Estimating Equations for Hearing Loss Data with Specified Correlation Structures [PDF]
Due to the nature of pure-tone audiometry test, hearing loss data often has a complicated correlation structure. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) is commonly used to investigate the association between exposures and hearing loss, because it is robust to misspecification of the correlation matrix.

Radiação acústica é uma fuga da energia sonora do vibrador ósseo que pode ser detectada pela via aérea. A presença da radiação acústica poderia resultar em um limiar ósseo falso, um gap aéreo-ósseo irreal, nas frequências altas.
