PG  - 849-61
AB  - Loudness discomfort level (LDL) and acoustic reflex threshold (ART) measurements 
      were obtained from subjects with normal hearing using several speech stimuli, as 
      well as broad-band and speech-spectrum noise. The purpose of the investigation 
      was to determine the LDL for a variety of representative speech samples, and to 
      determine the relationship between the LDL and ART for selected speech and noise 
      stimuli. For all stimuli, LDL measurements were relatively constant, but ART 
      measurements decreased significantly for wide-band noise stimuli as compared with 
      the speech stimuli. Mean differences between the two measures were consistent, 
      but individual subject data were characterized by wide variability precluding 
      accurate prediction of the LDL from ART measurements.
