title: Variables to consider when interpreting the impact of monaural amplification.
abstract: A theoretical basis is presented for considering the current data available regarding the impact of monaural amplification over time and for the design of future prospective studies. We present a summary of essential subject parameters, amplification parameters, and test properties to be considered in this expanding area of investigation. This paper attempts to create a context in which to evaluate current findings and a framework in which to ground future investigations.
