Abstract
Reaction is defined as a behavioral response to a stimulus. The stimulus can be auditory or visual. Reaction time (RT) is determined as the time between the onset of the stimulus and response. According to this definition, the auditory RT is the time between the auditory stimulus and the response. Simple reaction time has been the subject of comparison of many different groups with both auditory and visual stimuli. When the simple auditory and visual RT in normal hearing individuals are compared, it has been observed that the auditory RT is faster than visual reaction. Auditory RT in womens's was observed slower than men. In many different studies, average values are 180-200 ms for visual RT and 140-160 ms for auditory RT with normal hearing and sighted individuals.

When the simple auditory and visual Reaction time (RT) in normal hearing individuals are compared, it has been observed that the auditory RT is faster than visual reaction
The answer to this question is directly related to the reflex arc known as the startle reflex, which mostly uses by audiology science in infants hearing evaluations
Summary
Reaction is defined as a behavioral response to a stimulus. The stimulus can be auditory or visual. Reaction time (RT) is determined as the time between the onset of the stimulus and response. One of the questions asked by sports sciences for the branch of athletics in the past is “what is the minimum reaction time value?”. The answer to this question is directly related to the reflex arc known as the startle reflex, which mostly uses by audiology science in infants hearing evaluations. Auditory RT can be an important data for pediatric hearing assessment It has great importance in monitoring pediatric audiological assessment, especially during visual reinforcement audiometry measurements. RT measurements are used with different methods to improve measurement techniques or determine the benefit of the hearing devices
