Coren (1989) noticed that the various air-conduction pure-tone thresholds obtained from one ear of an individual in quiet tend to display a high correlation. In addition, Coren and Hakstian (1990) reported a consistently high correlation between pure-tone thresholds in the two ears of the same individual. On the basis of these observations, these authors proposed that pure-tone thresholds measured at audiometric frequencies in one ear, and those measured in both ears of an individual, be collapsed into a single average threshold value. The present paper disputes the usefulness and the appropriateness of such a proposal.
科伦（1989年）注意到，在安静环境中从个体一只耳朵获得的各种气导纯音阈值往往呈现出高度相关性。此外，科伦和哈克斯蒂安（1990年）报告称，同一个体双耳的纯音阈值之间始终存在高度相关性。基于这些观察结果，这些作者提议将在一个耳朵的听力计频率下测量的纯音阈值以及在个体双耳测量的纯音阈值合并为一个单一的平均阈值。本文对这一提议的实用性和适当性提出质疑。
