AUDITORY EVALUATION.
Abstract
The investigation focused attention upon the development of multi-dimensional hearing tests which could yield new insights to normal and abnormal states of hearing and to auditory communications under a variety of conditions. The broad results indicate that the new approach can provide significant information about auditory mechanisms. Within the limits of the test conditions, background noise affected phoneme recognition by subjects with normal hearing, conductive hearing loss, and sensori-neural hearing loss in qualitatively similar ways, with trends toward quantitative differences. The detailed findings provide a basis for planning the construction of more precise tests along theoretical and methodological lines. (Author)
