Acoustic Reflex Test in Gainesville, FL

The acoustic reflex test is another middle ear test that looks at how well one of the muscles in your middle ear stops loud sounds. The muscle acts like a shock absorber, contracting when you hear loud sounds; it won’t stop all loud sounds, but it should dampen some of the sound. You’ll again have a probe placed in your ear and will have to listen to a loud sound. The probe will record how the muscle reacts.
