Hearing loss study. Patients with normal hearing in one ear and unaided sensorineural hearing loss in the other are characterized as suffering from unilateral hearing loss. In a study reported in the American Journal of Audiology(March 1995), eight patients with unilateral hearing loss were fitted with a special wireless hearing aid in the “bad” ear. The absolute sound pressure level (SPL) was then measured near the eardrum of the ear when noise was produced at a frequency of 500 hertz. The SPLs of the eight patients, recorded in decibels, are as follows:

SOUND

73.0

80.1

82.8

76.8

73.5

74.3

76.0

68.1

Construct and interpret a.90% confidence interval for the true mean SPL of patients with unilateral hearing loss when noise is produced at a frequency of 500 hertz.
