Notes on hearing tests.
A short review of current practical hearing tests is given. Tests to differentiate conductive and sensorineural types of hearing loss are mentioned. Basic concepts are given which subdivide sensorineural hearing losses into those arising in the cochlea and those arising more centrally. The information is given as a simplified resume intended to be understandable by all interested in birth defects.
