Abstract
An investigation was conducted to observe the effect of hearing aids on the ability of blind subjects to localize white noise. It was found that there was a significant difference between the subject's ability to localize sound while wearing a hearing aid and the same subject's ability to localize sound under two other conditions (unoccluded ears and occluded ears). In all cases subjects performed more poorly on a localization task while wearing a hearing aid.
