Key result
New high-frequency auditory measurement system yields clinical insights missed by conventional testing in two cases.
Why the study?
Conventional threshold assessment does not readily reveal clinical information from high-frequency auditory sensitivity above 8000 Hz.

May supplement conventional audiometry in select cases; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
Case Report (n=2)
A new system for high-frequency audiometry provides additional clinical information beyond conventional threshold assessment.
Fausti et al. (1979) conducted a case report in Auditory function (n=2). High-frequency auditory sensitivity measurement system (8000-20 000 Hz) vs. Conventional threshold assessment was evaluated on Clinical information gained from high-frequency auditory sensitivity measurement. A new system for measuring auditory function from 8000-20,000 Hz provided clinical information on high-frequency sensitivity not readily apparent in conventional threshold assessment in two cases.
