RESUMO
The Information Technology column in last quarter's issue provided an overview of continuing professional education options. The experience of a Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America member as a student in one of the previously described distance-education degree programs is related in this column. The Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, distance learning Masters of Public Health program provided a means for advancing this member's education that otherwise would not have been practical.

One ear of each of seven normal-hearing subjects was exposed to a continuous 1000-Hz tone at 110 dB SPL for three minutes. During exposure, a broad-band noise at 100 dB SPL was presented to the contralateral ear. The noise was either continuous or pulsed. Four pulsed conditions employed repetition periods of 360, 180, 90, or 9 msec with a 50% duty cycle. A control condition in which no noise was presented was also included. Temporary threshold shift was measured at selected postexposure times at the frequency one-half octave above the exposure frequency. TTS2 was greatest for the control condition and least for the 360- and 180-msec conditions. Results are discussed in relation to the dynamics of the acoustic reflex, particularly reflex relaxation, reflex adaptation, and reflex temporal summation.
