Abstract:
A pilot study was conducted to measure the acoustic change provided by a prosthetic ear and to determine whether this change is functionally significant. Four subjects with acquired loss of the ear were tested. Objective data confirmed that the prosthesis provided acoustic gain. This gain may be significant only for individuals with a preexisting hearing loss.
