| Concept | Categorical loudness scaling |
| Description | Categorical loudness scaling |
| Use | Use to record responses to loudness scaling procedures with or without using hearing aids. |
| Misuse | Not to be used for hearing threshold, audiogram or speech understanding assessment Not to be used to record other auditory assessments such as:
|
| Purpose | To record responses to loudness scaling tests and calculate respective individual loudness growth functions. |

| Extension | Extension: Additional information required to capture local content or to align with other reference models/formalisms. For example: local information requirements or additional metadata. Include: All not explicitly excluded archetypes |
| Presentation | Presentation: Presentation type
|
| Test environment | Test environment: The environment in which the audiometric test is administered. This data element is commonly used in industry hearing programs.
|
| Test stimulus | Test stimulus: Identification of the stimulus used in the hearing test to measure the hearing threshold.
|
| Test instrument | Test instrument: Details of device used to conduct the test. Details of the headphones or speakers (freefield presentation) that are calibrated to be used in conjunction with a specific hearing test instrument will be nested as specific CLUSTER archetypes within the CLUSTER.hearing_test_instrument archetype. Include: openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.device.v1 and specialisations |
| Hearing device | Hearing device: Details of the hearing device used. For example: hearing aid or bone conductor aid. Include: openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.device.v1 and specialisations |
| Reliability | Reliability: Narrative description of the reliability of the test results. If an appropriate value set can be determined, this could be coded. The maximum occurrences of this data element have been set to two to allow for both narrative and a coded value to be selected in a template. |
| Test modifications required | Test modifications required: Narrative description of any modfications to the standard methodology required to enable successful completion of the test. |
| Calibration reference dB | Calibration reference dB: Scale used for acoustic calibration of the test signal.
|
| Criteria for abnormality | Criteria for abnormality: The criteria on which deviation from normal in the test result interpretation. For example: lower slope of loudness growth function higher than xx CU/dB Possible reasons why null:

| Aided status | Aided status: Indication regarding use of an assistive listening device by the test subject during the test.
|
| Type of listening device | Type of listening device: Identification of type of assistive listening device used. Only relevant if 'Aid Status' value is 'Aided'.
