What factors influence variation in directional microphone benefit?
(2012)
Many studies have demonstrated an average directional microphone (dirmic) benefit of 3-3.5 dB, a value that corresponds well to expectations from physical performance measures of conventional directional instruments. A ...
Perception and management of a self-fitting hearing aid among older adults
(2011)
NAL is currently investigating if a ‘self-fitting hearing aid’ (SFHA),
a device that users can program themselves without the need for
audiological or computer support, is a viable solution for
populations who have ...
The Self-Fitting Hearing Aid
(2010)
Factors influencing individual variation in perceptual directional microphone benefit
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2013-02)
Background: Large variations in perceptual directional microphone benefit, which far exceed the variation expected from physical performance measures of directional microphones, have been reported in the literature. The ...
Identification of Conductive Hearing Loss Using Air Conduction Tests Alone: Reliability and Validity of an Automatic Test Battery
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins., 2014-01)
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether
a combination of automatically administered pure-tone audiometry and
a tone-in-noise detection task, both delivered via an air conduction (AC)
pathway, could ...
Self-fitting hearing aids: status quo and future predictions
(Trends in Hearing, 2016)
Evaluation of the self-fitting process with a commercially available hearing aid
(Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2016)
Background: Hearing aids and personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) that are designed to be self-fitted by the user at home are becoming increasingly available in the online marketplace. While these devices are often ...
