Abstract:Effect of socalled tonic reflexes on central processing of acoustic stimuli was studied by stimulating the patterns of tonic reflexes in 18 adults with normal hearing abilities. The parameters were: hearing threshold level, acoustical stapedius reflex and slow auditory evoked potential. Only in three positions-corresponding to the symmetrical tonic neck reflex (STNR) and tonic labyrinthine reflex in supine and prone position a hearing threshold shift of 1 dB could be observed. The level of the stapedius reflex… Show more
