New hearing test for tinnitus?

[Kuwaitin08]

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

I have been diagnosed with hyperacusis and tinnitus, both of which have been denied service connection. I have documentation out the wazoo that show it started within one year of active duty primarily my last deployment. My neurologist and psychologist believes it to be related to my ptsd with DBQ’s completed. Still denied.

Okay

Can you put up a redacted copy of your denial?

 black out your name and claim# and address personal info.

Unfortunately I know diddly squat about ''hyperacusis''

Maybe other experience members can chime in.
