got suckered into an audiogram

hey alicia..
im not 100% sure what it means, but from what ive read its when they put a loud sound into your ear, and the little muscles in your ears reflex in an effort to keep them from being damaged. Not sure what 5.6 and - mean. I'm looking at old audiograms now and mine have never been tested. My acoustic reflexes have been tested, and they were 85 to absent at 105. What does it say for your reflexes?
PS- sorry that ppl hijacked your thread :(

Acoustic Reflex Decay
Acoustic Reflex Decay*- This tests how long the stapedial reflex can be sustained. The tone is presented for 10 seconds, and the muscle response is recorded. This test also gives helpful information on the location of hearing problems. *Not everyone needs Stapedial Reflex testing and Acoustic Reflex Decay testing. The decision to perform these tests is based on the patients medical and hearing history, and upon physician recommendations.
