HC Deb 31 October 1966 vol 735 c18W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Health what progress has been made in establishing a standard speech test of hearing through a speech audiometer in all otology departments of National Health Service hospitals.

Mr. K. Robinson

Speech audiometry is available in many of the larger Otological Departments. Its use is a matter for clinical judgment but I am advised that it is not yet generally regarded as of universal application.
