Testing of patients with bilateral asymmetrical hearing losses for differences in speech discrimination under varying listening conditions showed detrimental interaction between ears. Also, when difference between ears was greater, speech discrimination was better, and the greater the impairment in better ear, the greater results obtained by…

Occlusion effects were determined and compared on three groups of subjects (20 normal hearers, 20 with conductive hearing loss, and 20 with sensorineural hearing loss). (Author)

When the hearing sensitivity of children with subclinical congenital cytomegalovirus infection was evaluated and compared with that of a group of matched control subjects, nine of the 18 infected subjects were found to have some hearing loss, ranging from slight high-frequency impairments to a severe-to-profound unilateral loss. (MYS)

Critical bandwidth measurements and sensitivity prediction from the acoustic reflex test results were obtained on 20 adult normal-hearing and two groups of 10 adult hearing impaired Ss each representing mild-to-moderate and severe hearing loss. (Author)

Fifteen 1-year-olds without otitis media were compared to 12 babies who were otitis positive. No significant differences were detected on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development or the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD) Receptive scale. However, the otitis-positive group exhibited lower SICD Expressive scores than the…
