Multiple research-based tests of auditory function have been developed\n to identify the potential for synaptopathy in animals and humans, including assessment of the middle-ear muscle reflex (MEMR). Despite these research-based tests, there is no verified method for measuring or identifying the potential for cochlear synaptopathy using standard audiologic equipment.\n <jats:bold>Purpose<\/jats:bold>\u2003The goal of this study was to determine if commonly used audiometric equipment could be configured in a way that approximated the test methods used in the research environment, making it a viable tool in the assessment of patients who present with symptoms consistent with\n cochlear synaptopathy (tinnitus, hyperacusis, speech-in-noise difficulties). <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\u2003Laboratory-based and clinically based measures of MEMR strength\u2014as estimated from changes in probe pressure\/admittance in response to contralateral noise\u2014were compared for 20 subjects.\n MEMR strength estimated from laboratory equipment increased with increasing intensity of the contralateral noise elicitor. <jats:bold>Results and Conclusions<\/jats:bold>\u2003A moderate positive correlation was found between laboratory- and clinically based measures of MEMR strength. This correlation\n supports the hypothesis that commonly used clinical equipment can be employed to assess the potential for cochlear synaptopathy in patients who present with the associated symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1758530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,7]],"date-time":"2024-09-07T00:26:37Z","timestamp":1725668797000},"page":"466-473","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Assessment
