Abstract
A forced-choice technique which may be used to confirm the existence of a non-organic hearing loss is described. Evidence is presented which shows that although this technique is not infallible it can in many cases unmask attempts to simulate or exaggerate a hearing loss. Supplementary tests using conventional audiometry demonstrated that persons with normal hearing can consistently feign a bilateral hearing loss.
