Abstract

Whenever we perform a comprehensive hearing evaluation we measure thresholds for the patient for puretones and also for speech. Measurement of puretone hearing thresholds in individuals whose native language is not English can be very difficult. Measurement of puretone thresholds in isolation is inadequate. It is very important to obtain some measure of the ability to hear and to understand speech.
