Acoustic reflex thresholds (ARTS) elicited by tonal activators of 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz were studied in 14 patients (28 ears) having documented brain lesions affecting auditory perceptual skills. Reflex thresholds ranged from 75 to 125 dB hearing level (re: ANSI-1969) in a manner consistent with established findings on ARTs in patients without brain damage. The results indicated that disorders of the higher central nervous system do not affect tonally activated ARTs.
