Clinical performance of audiological and related diagnostic tests.

This paper is the second in a series of three concerning audiological tests and test batteries designed to differentiate cochlear from retrocochlear site-of-lesion. The first paper discussed the application of clinical decision analysis to diagnostic tests, particularly audiological tests. This paper uses the techniques of clinical decision analysis to evaluate the clinical performance of audiological, vestibular, and radiological tests based on data derived from the last 15 years of the clinical literature. Using calculated measures of test performance, we compared and divided the test into four groups.

Formulating and evaluating audiological test protocols.

This paper is the last in a series about audiological tests and test protocols (test batteries) designed to differentiate cochlear from retrocochlear site-of-lesion. While the first two papers dealt with individual tests, this paper is concerned with the audiological test protocol. A conceptual framework is presented for formulating a test protocol, and techniques are discussed for evaluating protocol performance. Using clinical data, we evaluate the performance of the traditional audiological test battery and make recommendations for the clinical use of audiological test protocols.
