Difficulty in localizing sound has been shown to be associated with severe unilateral hearing impairment, middle-ear conditions and lesions of the cerebello-pontine angle. This was in contrast to the performance of subjects with cochlear lesions and certain brain conditions who had mainly normal ability to localize sound. The investigation appeared to indicate that a sound localization test in the horizontal plane using low frequency stimuli may be a useful addition to the test battery employed in the differential diagnosis of cochlear and retrocochlear lesions involving the cerebello-pontine angle.
研究表明，声音定位困难与严重的单侧听力障碍、中耳疾病以及桥小脑角病变有关。这与患有耳蜗病变和某些脑部疾病的受试者的表现形成对比，这些受试者主要具有正常的声音定位能力。该研究似乎表明，在水平面使用低频刺激进行声音定位测试，可能会成为用于鉴别涉及桥小脑角的耳蜗和蜗后病变的测试组中的一项有用补充。
