Background and Objectives: The ability to localize a sound source is one of the binauralhearing benefits in a horizontal plane based on interaural time difference and interaural intensitydifference. Unilateral or bilateral asymmetric hearing loss will affect binaural hearing and leadto sound locating errors. In this cross sectional analytical descriptive study, the localization errorwas investigated when participants turned their heads to the sound source with closedeyes and after simulating unilateral hearing loss by placing earplugs inside the right ear canal. Subjects and Methods: This cross sectional analytical descriptive study was carried out on30 right-handed adults, 22 female and 8 male (average: 25 years, standard deviation: 3.16). They were selected with the available random access method. Horizontal localization wasevaluated with five speakers located at 0, ±30, and ±60 degree azimuths at a 1-meter distancefrom the examinee. Narrow-band noise signals were delivered at 35 dB SL in two “withoutearplug” and “with earplug” situations and the results were compared. The study was performedbetween September and December 2016 in Tehran, Iran. Results: Significantdifferences were observed in localization errors between the “with earplug” and “without earplug”situations. The localization differences were greater for left-side speakers (-30 and -60degrees) compared with right-side speakers (+30 and +60 degrees). The differences weremore apparent at 4,000 and 6,000 Hz, which confirmed the effect of unilateral simulatedhearing loss on interaural latency differences. Conclusions: Simulating hearing loss by usingan earplug in one ear (right) increased localization errors at all frequencies. The errorsincreased at higher frequencies.
