The present invention relates to methods for acquiring hearing threshold values in a subject comprising providing a sound to the subject; providing a monitor for monitoring a movement response by the subject; monitoring the movement response by the subject to the sound; and progressively reducing the volume of the sound until no movement response by the subject to the sound occurs. The present invention further relates to methods and systems for acquiring loudness level information for a subject comprising providing a sound to a subject having a sensation level; providing a first sound to the subject having a sensational level; providing a monitor for monitoring a movement response by the subject; monitoring the movement response by the subject to the sound; and determining an elapsed reaction time between the sound and the movement response by the subject to the sound.
