Abstract

Six cases of simulated deafness were found in the Kyushu University Hospital in recent three years. They have overlaid on their actual hearing loss caused by traffic accidents for purpose concerned with compensation by the car-insurance or trials.In four cases malingering was detected because of inconsistency of the results of the conventional hearing test, not specially for the malingering, and the patiets' behavior. In another two cases, Lomberd's test, delayed feedback test and EEG-audiometry successfully disclosed the presence of overlaid deafness.
