Abstract
Bekesy audiograms were compared between tracings with continous and interrupted tonal stimulations. In accordance with Jerger, reduced amplitude in Bekesy tracings in cases with cochlear lesion were observed exclusively when the test was administered with continous tone, but this change was not recognized in the test with interrupted tone. On the basis of this fact, the authors came to the conclusion that the amplitude reduction in Bekesy audiograms observed in the ears with perceptive deafness must be considered as a representation of abnormal adaptation, not of loudness recruitment.
