Objective—To investigate the predicted threshold shift associated with the use of nonlinear
hearing-aids set according to the NAL-NL2 or the DSL m[i/o] prescription for children. For
medium and high input levels, we asked: 1) for the same audiograms, how do predicted
asymptotic threshold shifts (ATS) differ according to the choice of prescription? 2) How does
predicted ATS vary with hearing level for gains prescribed by the two prescriptions?
