Pure tone audiometry was obtained for both ears of 32 children by a general practitioner using a simple audiometer in his surgery, and by audiometricians in a hospital department on the same day. Comparing the worst hearing threshold at any of the three tested frequencies, the general practitioner did not find any ears to hear more than 10 dB better than the hospital (no false negatives). However, there were six false positives (9%) where the general practitioner identified an apparent hearing loss of greater than 15 dB. It is concluded that pure tone audiometry could be carried out accurately in the practice.
一位全科医生在其诊所使用简易听力计为32名儿童的双耳进行了纯音听力测定，同一天医院科室的听力测定师也为这些儿童进行了测定。比较三个测试频率中任何一个频率下最差的听力阈值，全科医生未发现有耳朵的听力比医院测定结果好超过10分贝（无假阴性）。然而，有6例假阳性（9%），即全科医生认定存在大于15分贝的明显听力损失。结论是在诊所中可以准确地进行纯音听力测定。
