All auditory stimuli were presented monaurally to the left ear via a specially designed, individually fitted hearing aid device. |
|
The case studies used in the survey were of patients who had been fitted with hearing aids binaurally, except for case 2 who obviously was fitted monaurally. |
|
Word-recognition-in-noise scores at presentation levels between 65 and 90 dB sound pressure level were compared in 24 monaurally aided subjects. |
|
Earlier studies demonstrated that subjects with normal hearing and hearing loss discriminate a speech signal better binaurally than monaurally in the presence of noise. |
|
Monaurally aided speech discrimination appeared to be excellent bilaterally. |
