          Abstract

          Asymmetrical hearing thresholds are common in people claiming compensation for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). When present and otherwise unexplained, there is some controversy as to whether such asymmetry can be attributed to occupational noise exposure. In this review, our main objectives were to collate the overall prevalence of this finding in subjects with NIHL, and further, to provide a balanced argument regarding causality.
