Can an average of thresholds at 2 kHz and 4 kHz substitute for the threshold at 3 kHz in pure tone audiometry? A study based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2012

Abstract: BackgroundWhen evaluating hearing disability in medicolegal cases, an average of thresholds at several frequencies is calculated using pure tone audiometry. Occasionally, there are instances in which thresholds at certain frequencies are omitted. One typical example is the threshold at 3 kHz (H3k). The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium (1995) suggested that the average of thresholds at 2 kHz and 4 kHz (H24k) could replace H3k for a comparison of resul… Show more

“…If 3 kHz was not recorded, the mean of 2 and 4 kHz was used according to the guidelines from the Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium. 13 , 14 CHL was defined as the presence of at least a 10 dB air bone gap. If the patient had bilateral CHL, lateralization was expected to the ear with the larger air bone gap.…”
