OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare real-ear to coupler difference (RECD) values in the right and left ear of hearing aid users. DESIGN: RECDs were obtained from both ears of 16 adults, 17 school-age children, and 11 preschool children using the Audioscan Verifit real-ear microphone system. RESULTS: In 80 to 90% of participants, the difference between ears was generally <3 dB at 0.5 to 4 kHz. CONCLUSIONS: In hearing aid users with nonoccluding wax and normal middle ear function, the difference in RECD between the right and left ear is small and probably not clinically significant. |
