AURAL REFLEX

Specialty Definition: AURAL REFLEX

DomainDefinition

Medicine

It partially protects the ear exposed to high sound levels. The stapedius and tensor tympani muscles contract, limiting movement of the ossicles and so attenuating the general disturbance. The protection afforded by this reflex averages 10 dB for frequencies at or above 1000 Hz. Source: European Union. (references)
