Abstract

Impedance audiometry finds its application in every phase of clinical audiology. It  includes tympanometry, static compliance and stapedial reflex test. Of the three measures of impedance audiometry, the stapedial reflex thresholds are probably most useful individually (Jerger, 1970). The stapedial reflex threshold is defined as the lowest intensity at which a 
visible or recordable deflection' of the impedance balance needle occurs consistently with stimulus presentation.
