Do new hearing aid users prefer less low- frequency, high-frequency, or overall gain than experienced users?
(2006)
There seems to be a widespread belief among clinicians that new hearing aid users prefer less gain than experienced hearing aid users, and therefore that new users will acclimatize to more gain over time. This belief is ...
Prescribing Amplification for Children: Adult-Equivalent Hearing Loss, Real-Ear Aided Gain, and NAL-NL1
(Sage Publications, 2003-03)
This paper focuses on how the acoustical differences between the ear canals of adults and children affect amplification requirements and describes efficient strategies to allow for these differences when prescribing and ...
Client-Based Adjustments of Hearing Aid Gain: The Effect of Different Control Configurations
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins •, 2008)
Objectives: Facilitating the fine-tuning of advanced
hearing aids requires information about the acoustic
environment. The concept of a “trainable” hearing
aid may provide a more direct approach to
hearing aid fine-tuning ...
Effect of low-frequency gain and venting effects on the benefit derived from directionality and noise reduction in hearing aids
(International Journal of Audiology, 2007-11)
AI-DI = articulation index weighted directivity index, ANOVA = analysis of variance, BKB = Bamford-Kowal-Bench sentences, BTE = Behind-the-ear, CD = Compact Disc, DI = directivity index, famplified = frequency at which the ...
Hearing aids
(Hodder Arnold, 2008)
Hearing aids partially overcome the deficits associated with a hearing loss. For a sensorineural hearing loss, there are several deficits to be overcome. Some sounds are inaudible. Other sounds can be detected because part ...
