Current state of knowledge: outcomes research in children with mild to severe hearing impairment--approaches and methodological considerations.

abstract：:Errors on a nonsense syllable test (NST) were compared to pure-tone thresholds and ages of 109 subjects with normal or sensorineural hearing loss. A strong correlation was found between the number of NST errors and hearing loss at 2000 and 250 Hz. NST errors do not appear to be related to the age of subjects. Excellen...
