He also describes his Threshold Equalizing Noise (TEN) Test for identifying cochlear dead zone regions. Dr Moore describes how these regions might be created, possible tell-tale signs and tip-offs for presenting in a patient, and their implications for treatment of hearing loss and hearing aid fittings.
