Békésy audiometry derives hearing thresholds from button-press tracking of a swept tone

Evidence

There were no significant correlations between the DPOAE measures and the EFR measures indicating that the EFR measures at 70 dB SPL reflect more aspects of hearing loss than captured by auditory threshold measures alone. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5885 (#complicates, via linked claim)
