With a new developed and reliable dichotic test (one part monosyllable words, other part monosyllable digits) we could show a significant Right-Ear-Advantage (REA) in children from age six to eight. The determination of an auditory-dominance-index (DI)--in analogy to the DI of handedness by Schilling (1977)--made it possible to determine the different degrees of REA/LEA in individuals or groups. Within the near future the auditory-dominance-index could be an important measure in diagnosis and therapy of child development (i.e. discrimination of language features like phonematics, syntax, semantic, and their lateralisation within ages) as far as standard-scales for all-over-accuity and lateralisation will exist. Our test is the first step to do this.
通过一种新开发的、可靠的双耳分听测试（一部分是单音节单词，另一部分是单音节数字），我们发现6至8岁的儿童存在显著的右耳优势（REA）。类似于席林（1977年）对利手的优势指数（DI），听觉优势指数（DI）的确定使得能够确定个体或群体中不同程度的右耳优势/左耳优势。在不久的将来，只要存在全面听力敏锐度和偏侧化的标准量表，听觉优势指数就可能成为儿童发育诊断和治疗中的一项重要指标（例如区分语音、句法、语义等语言特征及其在不同年龄段的偏侧化情况）。我们的测试是迈向这一目标的第一步。
