Group 1 (≤6 years old), group 2 (6.1–12 years old), group 3 (12.1–18 years old), and group 4 (≥18 years old). The value outside each pair of parentheses represents the number of patients with interaural hearing symmetry or asymmetry; the value inside each pair of parentheses represents the percentage of patients with interaural hearing symmetry or asymmetry relative to the total number of patients in each group.
