| Earlier studies demonstrated that subjects with normal hearing and hearing loss discriminate a speech signal better binaurally than monaurally in the presence of noise. |
| They found that patients who were fitted binaurally after a monaural trial perceived their hearing aids to have a higher value. |
| In the repetition task, the auditory stimulus was a series of sentences delivered every 5 seconds binaurally through earphones. |
| 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. |
