Fig. 6.

Comparisons of the mean and 95% confidence limits of the mean of the umbo-velocity transfer function measured in 56 ears with normal hearing and 47 ears with sensorineural hearing loss. The dB values of the magnitudes are illustrated in the upper panel. The comparison of the angles is in the lower panel (after Whittemore, Merchant, Poon, & Rosowski, 2004). The differences observed in magnitude are not significant at the 5% level. The differences in angle at 1000 and 1500 Hz are significant at the p < 5%.
