Table 1. Summary of participants.

Measured ear	# of Participants	Notes
Worse ear	38	Subjects with symmetric 1 kHz thresholds (asymmetry <= 10 dB; n = 37) or who could only be assessed in their worse ear due to time constraints (n = 1).
Better ear	7	Subjects with 1 kHz thresholds in the worse ear that exceeded the study criterion (n = 6) or indicated the SL in their worse ear was uncomfortable (n = 1).
Both ears (worse ear used in analyses)	11	1 kHz asymmetry > 10 dB; n = 3 had normal hearing in their better ear, and n = 8 had SNHL in both ears.
