Transient heart rate fluctuations do not warrant clinical consideration in auditory testing; leaves open interoceptive effects on perception in other contexts or populations.
Does transient high heart rate compared to low heart rate affect sensory sensitivity to tones?
Transient changes in heart rate do not appear to directly alter auditory sensory sensitivity, suggesting low heart rate is not a sufficient condition for increased sensitivity.
Edwards et al. (1969) studied this question. High transient heart rate vs. Low transient heart rate was evaluated on Number of correct detections of tone intensities. High transient heart rate showed no difference in the number of correct tone detections compared to low transient heart rate.
