Examination was made of the behaviors exhibited on selected binaural tasks by 556 persons with diagnosed peripheral hearing loss or central nervous system damage. The tasks used included loudness balancing (LB), intracranial midline imaging (MI), masking level differences (MLD), and binaural beats (BB). The methods used were chosen for their clinical utility. Loudness balancing and midline imaging were of the most diagnostic value when hearing loss was present. Masking level differences were best at detecting pathology which did not produce hearing loss. None of the techniques were sensitive to cortical damage.
对556名被诊断患有外周性听力损失或中枢神经系统损伤的患者在选定双耳任务中表现出的行为进行了检查。所使用的任务包括响度平衡（LB）、颅内中线成像（MI）、掩蔽级差（MLD）和双耳节拍（BB）。所采用的方法因其临床实用性而被选用。当存在听力损失时，响度平衡和中线成像具有最大的诊断价值。掩蔽级差在检测未导致听力损失的病变方面表现最佳。这些技术均对皮质损伤不敏感。
