BA, Brodmann area; f, female; hf, high‐frequency hearing loss; HL, hearing level; l, left; m, male; NBN, narrow band noise; no, not obtained; pan, pancochlear hearing loss; r, right; SIN, sinus tone.
*HL, hearing level in decibel (dB), provided as a standard “four tone average” = hearing loss at ((0.5+1+2+3 kHz)/4).
