Acoustic Reflex Decay*- This tests how long the stapedial reflex can be sustained. The tone is presented for 10 seconds, and the muscle response is recorded. This test also gives helpful information on the location of hearing problems. *Not everyone needs Stapedial Reflex testing and Acoustic Reflex Decay testing. The decision to perform these tests is based on the patients medical and hearing history, and upon physician recommendations.
