  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The use of the California Consonant Test and the Northwestern University Auditory Test no. 6 in hearing aid evaluations for individuals with precipitous losses above 1 kHz Author: Allard, Bradley James Year: 1990 These two joint-studies used recorded versions of the Northwestern University Auditory Test Number· 6 (NU-6) and the California Consonant Test (CCT) in the hearing aid evaluations (HAEs) of 12 male and one female subjects, aged 41 to 87 years. They exhibited precipitous high frequency losses beyond 1 kHz in at least one ear. All subjects were evaluated without amplification and while monaurally aided with two conventional high pass hearing aids. Ten of the subjects were evaluated in multi-talker noise and 11 were tested in quiet. Since the CCT was more heavily weighted than the NU-6 with target phonemes sensitive to high frequency losses, it was hypothesized that the CCT might be more sensitive than the NU-6 to significant differences between aided and/or unaided performances of these particularly high frequency impaired subjects.
