Abstract
The interaural attenuation in bone- and airconduction measurements have been evaluated on 50 monaurally deaf subjects using different type of sound sources. The results of the investigation applied on BC audiometry point at narrow-band noise masking through insert receiver being superior to regular headphones. Modification of the SAL-method is discussed in order to eliminate the disadvantage of the occlusion effect.Keywords
