Italian term

riflesso stipendiale

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Ear and damage to it from sound
Sistema autoprotezione orecchio (riflesso stipendiale) tempo attivazione 10 millisecondi, il picco del rumore impulsivo è più rapido e non permette la contrazione di difesa del muscolo.

In reality this is a "medical" part within a more general text on noise - sound... damage levels from noise exposure etc... I have found the term "riflesso stipendiale" in a pdf file onlne but can't translate it

Glad of any help you can offer
thanks
