Yesterday I had a C&P exam for tinnitus and hyperacusis. During the appointment I was required to do a few hearing tests. One was the traditional listen for the beep’s and press the button, and one was the normal repeat the word but there was a new one I had never experienced.
The audiologist placed something on my shoulder with a muff on one ear and inserted in earpiece into the other. The earpiece would beep at different frequencies and get progressively louder to the point of discomfort. The test would then be repeated on the other ear.
Does anyone have any idea what that test is called or what it is supposed to measure?
Thanks

This sounds very much like a bone conduction hearing test except for the placement of the insturment on your shoulder. For bone conduction hearing tests an oscillator is placed on the mastoid process
