Acoustic Stapedial Reflex Threshold (ART) Skill

Zero-dependency sovereign personal agent skill for evaluating Acoustic Stapedial Reflex Thresholds (ART), sensation level (SL), 10-second reflex decay rate, and middle ear protective resilience.

Features

• Deterministic Math: Pure Python standard library implementation with zero external dependencies.
• Audiology & Otology Standards: Formulates ipsilateral/contralateral ART thresholds, Metz loudness recruitment, and acoustic reflex decay.
• Acoustic Fatigue & Retrocochlear Guard: Sensitive screening for auditory nerve conduction fatigue and middle ear biomechanical stiffness.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): Native JSON-RPC tool integration for LLMs and autonomous agents.

Quickstart

from client import AcousticStapedialReflexClient

client = AcousticStapedialReflexClient()
result = client.evaluate_stapedial_reflex(
    ipsilateral_threshold_db_hl=80.0,
    contralateral_threshold_db_hl=85.0,
    stimulus_freq_hz=1000,
    reflex_decay_10s_pct=12.0
)
print("Sensation Level:", result["sensation_level_db_sl"], "dB SL")
print("Middle Ear Score:", result["middle_ear_score"])
print("Classification:", result["classification"])
