Schmutzhard et al.

The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) should have been mentioned as a part funder, so the Acknowledgement section should have read as follows: Acknowledgement The project was funded by the Medical University of Innsbruck. The purchase of the otoacoustic emission machines was supported by the Company Otometric, Taastup, Denmark and MedEL, Innsbruck, Austria. The local infrastructure was provided by the SMAC II study group. This clinical trial was partially funded by The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP).
