Startle responses to a 115 dB SPL broadband noise (BBN) startle stimulus and airpuff startle stimulus before (grey) and during (black) unilateral conductive hearing loss. The amplitude of the startle response elicited by the airpuff was significantly greater than that produced by the 115 dB SPL BBN startle stimulus at baseline and post-earplug (two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc tests, P<0.001). During unilateral conductive hearing loss, startle amplitude was significantly reduced from baseline for both the BBN and airpuff startle stimuli (two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls post hoc tests, * P<0.001). Values represent mean ± SEM for n = 6.
