https://www.interacoustics.com/guides/test/tympanometry-tests/reflex-measurements If this is correct, only the starting point is at 70dBHL, but may go up to 105 dBHL to obtain acoustic reflex threshold. Funny how it says that tinnitus and hyperacusis are contraindications. I found the test loud. And on my results paper, my lowest threshold is at 90dB, they went (needed to) up.
I got tested when I only had my on/off low hum, got other possible causes, but a week later my bilateral T started. It may have started earlier, but I could have been preoccupied with the low hum. I had never had high ringing before. Also, nothing of diagnostic value was shared with me about the ART. I wish I had never done it.
@Kriszti We are in the same boat then. My tinnitus was bad, but not too bad before the test. Wish I had never went. The test was all for nothing as well. I didn't know the results will show the decibel level. I may try and call for a copy of the results, though I'm not sure I could control my anger with them.
