A comparison of NAL and DSL prescriptive methods for paediatric hearing-aid fitting: Predicted speech intelligibility and loudness
(2013)
OBJECTIVE—To examine the impact of prescription on predicted speech intelligibility and
loudness for children.
DESIGN—A between-group comparison of Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) and loudness, based
on hearing aids ...
