Abstract

Objective

To describe the characteristics of the two representative models, Standard Masking Model and Extended Masking Model, which is superior to and including the former, based on the preceding Review Article on the models for pure tone audiometry.

Methods

Computer simulation of the models and numerical confirmation of the outputs.

Results

1: propositions were evaluated by using Practical Judgement Method (PJM), covering a large number of combinations of parameters. 2: characteristics of 4 masking profiles (air/bone, right/left) were described. 3: bending patterns of profiles were explored. 4: relationships between the set of combinations of parameters (Set-C) and the set of masking profiles (Set-M) were elucidated. 5: exemplary evaluation of typical pure tone audiometry procedures was conducted. Method-A (the "ABC" method) was effective but Method-P (an elaborate method searching plateaux) achieved superior results both in Standard and Extended Masking Models.

Conclusion

The findings shown here will form the most fundamental knowledges concerning pure tone audiometry. Preliminary implication on masking methods was also presented.

纯音测听模型的理论表征。

目的：在前人关于纯音测听模型的综述文章的基础上，描述标准掩蔽模型和扩展掩蔽模型这两种具有代表性的模型的特点，标准掩蔽模型优于并包含了标准掩蔽模型。方法：对模型进行计算机模拟，并对输出结果进行数值验证。结果：1：采用实用判断法（PJM）对命题进行评价，涵盖了大量的参数组合。2：描述了4种掩蔽剖面（空气/骨、右/左）的特征。探讨了型材的弯曲规律。4：阐明了参数组合集（set - c）与掩蔽轮廓集（set - m）之间的关系。5：对典型纯音测听程序进行了示范性评价。方法a（“ABC”法）是有效的，而方法p（一种精细的搜索平台的方法）在标准和扩展掩蔽模型中都取得了更好的结果。结论：本文的研究结果将形成关于纯音听力学的最基本的知识。并对掩蔽方法进行了初步探讨。

期刊介绍： The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science. Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed. Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
