A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the relative comfort of a comprehensive range of diagnostic procedures. The mean comfort ranking and variability in comfort were examined. Pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry are the most comfortable tests, while caloric testing and transtympanic electrocochleography are the least comfortable. However, caloric testing and glycerol dehydration are not significantly different in comfort to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and brainstem evoked response testing is more comfortable than other diagnostic tests, including MRI. The reasons for these differences and the implications for diagnostic management are discussed.
进行了一项问卷调查，以调查一系列诊断程序的相对舒适度。研究了舒适度的平均排名和舒适度的变异性。纯音听力测定和言语听力测定是最舒适的测试，而冷热试验和经鼓膜电耳蜗图检查是最不舒适的。然而，冷热试验和甘油脱水在舒适度上与磁共振成像（MRI）没有显著差异，脑干诱发电位测试比包括MRI在内的其他诊断测试更舒适。讨论了这些差异的原因及其对诊断管理的影响。
