alternate binaural loudness-balance test

a test for abnormal sensitivity to loud sounds (see recruitment). The individual hears two tones of the same frequency played alternately into the two ears, but the intensity of the sound at one ear is set to begin at a level 20 dB higher than the other. The intensity of the sound increases in the defective ear until it is perceived to match the sound level in the normal ear.
