Abstract
1. The effect of a large number of antipyretic and analgesic drugs and of their combinations was studied in the relation to the acuity of sound perception.
2. It was found that acetanilide, sodium salicylate, acetylsalicylic acid, phenyl salicylate, and some other drugs decrease the threshold of hearing.
3. It was found that acetphenetidin, antipyrine, pyramidon and some other drugs increase the threshold of hearing.
4. The effects of various combinations were found to produce results which in the case of some, were additive, while, in case of other combinations, were of a synergistic character; and the significance of these phenomena is discussed in the text.
