Abstract
Pure-tone audiometric examinations of 116 non-drinking healthy veterans were compared to those of 96 subjects who consumed more than 10 ounces of pure alcohol per week. Hearing thresholds, compared by age groups, were similar in the non-drinking and drinking groups. No correlation between amount of alcohol consumed and hearing thresholds could be demonstrated in this population selected for absence of alcohol-related impairment of organ-systems other than the special senses.Keywords
