Abstract

Speech discrimination scores were obtained in quiet and against a background of competing noise for 5 persons both before and after they had ingested large doses of acetyl-salicylic acid (aspirin). The results indicate that for some persons, aspirin produces a substantial decrease in speech understanding in noise, even though there may not be a decrease in pure-tone sensitivity or speech discrimination in quiet.
