Abstract
In audiometry, descriptive terms like hearing loss, hearing disorder, hearing disturbance, hearing dysfunction, and dysacusis are used in specific contexts. More recently, the term “auditory” has gained favor over “hearing” since the former relates to a physiological system and not just a perceptual process per se. In the past, the main body of literature dealing with pseudohypacusic disturbance employed “hearing loss” in spite of the fact that this term may lack validity. Often, there is no physiological loss in pseudohypacusic disturbance. This author will reserve hearing loss to describe actual shifts in auditory sensitivity and use it in direct quotations from the literature. Auditory disturbance will be used in lieu of hearing loss since the former is more valid by definition alone. Hearing loss implies a reduction in auditory sensitivity or threshold shift and this may or may not be the case.
