Disease relevance of Hearing Loss, Functional

Threshold and amplitude measurements were made for fixed frequency Bekesy pure tones on subjects with normal hearing, sensorineural hearing impairment, and functional hearing loss [1].

High impact information on Hearing Loss, Functional

In addition, the conflicting results of elevated pure-tone thresholds with normal immittance measures and normal ABR findings suggested that four (11.8%) subjects exhibited functional hearing loss [2].
A case of functional hearing loss presenting as sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the only hearing ear of a musician is presented [3].
A female patient exhibiting functional hearing loss in her left ear demonstrated reduced amplitude of P3 component in event-related potentials (ERP) to left monaural stimulation, with preserved N1 and N2 components to stimulation of either ear [4].
This article describes clinical findings in three cases involving nonorganic hearing loss in which the Yes-No Test was instrumental in determining the true organic hearing thresholds [5].
