Abstract
The bases for the preferential use of one eat are not clear. We invest igated ear preference, asymmetry on a dichotic listening test and acui ty dominance (laterality of hearing loss) in a sample of 51 patients w ith mild high frequency hardness of hearing. There was a higher correl ation between measured ear preference and the measured acuity dominanc e than between ear preference and dichotic listening, suggesting a cer tain peripheral (cochlear) base for the ear preference.
