Abstract
Usually when a patient presents himself to an otologist because of impaired hearing he does so with some uneasiness. He has been experiencing, over some length of time, anxiety about himself. Is he really hard of hearing; has his attitude towards his fellows changed, or their attitude towards him? He has been embarrassed and has embarrassed others by failing to hear, or failing to hear correctly.
