This study aims to establish a protocol for measuring the postauricular muscle reflex (PAMR) and to characterize both short- and mid-latency responses under controlled conditions in adults with normal hearing. PAMR electromyography was recorded in 43 adults with normal hearing....
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
No actionable change at this time; PAMR protocol work in normal-hearing adults is foundational and requires validation in hearing-impaired clinical populations before clinical uptake.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Establishing a standardized PAMR measurement protocol could add a new objective, non-behavioural tool to the audiologist's test battery, particularly valuable for patients who cannot cooperate with traditional hearing tests.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01PAMR short- and mid-latency responses were characterized in normal-hearing adults.
