Summary
This book, written by two highly respected audiologists, traces the history of binaural interference study by researchers, then reviews the direct and indirect evidence supporting its reality. This is followed by a discussion of the possible causes of the phenomenon and in-depth analysis of illustrative cases. The authors outline a systematic approach to the clinical detection, evaluation and amelioration of individuals who exhibit binaural interference.
