Asymmetric Hearing Loss

Abstract

The algorithm met the goal of equaling or exceeding the performance of expert judges. The prevalence of AHL was higher than expected and suggests that the algorithm is not useful for screening for acoustic neuroma or other conditions. Perhaps, a criterion based on the magnitude of the asymmetry would better serve that purpose. The symmetry category provided by AMCLASS provides a determination of clinically significant AHL that agrees with the consensus of expert judges.
