Abstract
As previously reported, the speech audionietry done for the patients who wished to use a hearing aid and from the articulation score the next conclusions were derived: 1) The need of a hearing aid is not necessary indicated only by the results of the articulation, score. 2) The need of a hearing aid may be ever more indicated by the articulation curve for syl- lables than that for speech sounds. 3) A deaf patient whose articulation at 65 db sensation level a hearing aid is 75% or more, may not need a hearing aid. 4) One with perceptive deafness whose articulation score for syllables at 65 dh sensation level is less than 5% could expect to his hearing by a hearing aid. 5) When the articulation score for syllables at 65db sensation is recorded between 5% and. 25% and the deafness type is perceptive, some patients of this type can obtain some improvement of hearing by the use of hearing aids.
