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 ...
Hearing-aid assembly management among adults from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: Toward the feasibility of self-fi tting hearing aids
(Informa Healthcare, 2013)
Objective: The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to assess the ability of hearing-impaired adults in the developing world to independently and accurately assemble a pair of hearing
aids by following instructions that ...
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 ...
