[Psychogenic hearing loss (author's transl)].
The possible causes of psychogenic hearing loss and aggravating deafness are compared. The evaluation of anamnesis, speech reception thresholds, hearing threshold levels and recuitment tests, Békésy audiometry and simulation tests for the differential diagnosis is discussed. Therapeutical consequences are talked about. A case report will demonstrate in-debth how a minor noise-induced hearing loss due to having worked in a noisy environment for 25 years, was dominated by psychogenic hearing disorders of a considerable degree.
