The fatiguability of the acoustic stapedius muscle reflex in an actual noisy industrial environment was investigated in normal-hearing subjects. In a laboratory situation a small depression was found with a considerable individual variability. The stapedius reflex recovered slowly, approximately as a linear function of time. In a field study on an entire day of exposure in a ship-building yard the reflex depression was on the average 4 dB in response to a stimulation of 2000 Hz 10 min after the end of the workday. This corresponds to less than 8 dB immediately at the end of the exposure.
在听力正常的受试者中,研究了实际嘈杂工业环境中镫骨肌声反射的易疲劳性。在实验室环境中发现有轻微下降,且个体差异较大。镫骨肌反射恢复缓慢,大致呈时间的线性函数。在一项针对造船厂一整天暴露情况的实地研究中,工作日结束10分钟后,对2000Hz刺激的反射下降平均为4dB。这相当于暴露结束时立即下降不到8dB。
