Improved Sensitivity of Digits-in-Noise Test to High-Frequency Hearing Loss

Conclusions:

Of the filters used, DIN sensitivity to higher frequency hearing loss was greatest using the 4-kHz low-pass filter. These results suggest that low-pass filtered noise may be usefully substituted for broadband noise to improve earlier detection of HFHL using DIN.
