title: [New method of deafness classification].
abstract: Appreciating the difficulties in interpreting tonal audiograms using the classifications previously suggested, the authors, inspired by a paper by Wedenberg, have compared phonetic studies of phonemes and tonal audiograms. By this method they have obtained a simple audiometric pattern indicating both the degree of auditory loss and the rate of the curve. This is of value, from the point of view of classifying audiograms, for deciding on possible hearing-aids and for auditory education.
