Abstract

The assumption that a person’s hearing cannot be improved by aging, noise exposure, or any other otologically pathogenic agent, has the logical consequence that an initially normal distribution of hearing in a given population cannot remain so after the action of the pathogenic agent. The distribution must become skewed. Extrapolations that are often made assuming normal distribution may be practical approximations but they have no logical foundation.
