[Audiologic diagnosis of sensorineural deafness by discriminant analysis (author's transl)].
The audiometric test-battery surely is a help to the diagnosis of a lesion of the VIIIth nerve. The discriminant analysis is the most suitable statistic procedure for reduction of the test-battery and for clearer decision in cases of ambigous constellation of findings. The persons are divided into three groups: normals, patients with presumable inner-ear disturbance, and those with lesions of the acoustic nerve. By means of the classification-coefficients (a result of the discriminant analysis) in new cases a diagnosis per conclusionem can be found on-line.
