Failure of a binaural comprehension deficit to select responders to earplug use in schizophrenia

DJ Luchins, V Dyson, P Hanrahan, R Marks and L Blake
Department of Psychiatry, University of Chicago, Illinois 60637.

Previous studies have suggested that on the Auditory Comprehension Test, a significant proportion of schizophrenics demonstrate a binaural comprehension deficit. To test whether wearing an earplug in their more poorly performing ear would be beneficial, we studied 34 in-patient schizophrenics and noted a binaural deficit in 12 (35%). Of these, eight patients subsequently wore an earplug in each ear for at least one week. We found no effect of the earplug on psychopathology.
