Behavioral and Electrophysiologic Binaural Processing in Persons with Symmetric Hearing Loss

Conclusions:

The behavioral and electrophysiological measures used in the present study clearly showed evidence of reduced binaural processing in ∼10 of the subjects in the present study who had symmetrical pure-tone sensitivity. These results underscore the importance of understanding binaural auditory processing and how these measures may or may not identify functional auditory problems.
