Abstract
This is to report a malingerer who received a series of hearing tests for malingering, and confessed later that he was deceiving the examiner. True hearing threshold was obtained thereafter. The case showed that intolerable stress from pretending deafness gave influence upon the test-retest discrepancy. SRT was a useful tool for detecting true threshold in this case.
