The Relationship Between Acceptable Noise Level and Initial Acceptance of Hearing Aid
Introduction: The Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) evaluates the willingness of a listener to hear a continuous speech in the presence of background noise. ANL is related to some variables. Although many studies were accomplished on the relationship between ANL and hearing aid satisfaction, no study was found for the usage of ANL as the predictor of initial hearing aid acquisition. Therefore, the c...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level as a predictor of hearing aid use.
Acceptable noise level (ANL) measures a listener's reaction to background noise while listening to speech. Relations among hearing aid use and ANL, speech in noise (SPIN) scores, and listener characteristics (age, gender, pure-tone average) were investigated in 191 listeners with hearing impairment. Listeners were assigned to one of three groups based on patterns of hearing aid use: full-time u...
متن کاملAdvantages of Binaural Amplification to Acceptable Noise Level of Directional Hearing Aid Users
OBJECTIVES The goal of the present study was to examine whether Acceptable Noise Levels (ANLs) would be lower (greater acceptance of noise) in binaural listening than in monaural listening condition and also whether meaningfulness of background speech noise would affect ANLs for directional microphone hearing aid users. In addition, any relationships between the individual binaural benefits on ...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level as a measure of directional hearing aid benefit.
An acceptable noise level (ANL) procedure for measuring hearing aid directional benefit was compared with masked speech reception threshold (SRT) and front-to-back ratio (FBR) procedures. ANL is the difference between the most comfortable listening level and the maximum accepted background noise level while listening to speech. Forty adult subjects wearing their own binaural hearing aids were e...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level: A clinical measure for predicting hearing aid outcome.
stated that we are in the age of outcome measures; these measures are essential in the assessment of hearing aid efficacy. While numerous efforts have been made to predict hearing aid outcome, an accurate method of predicting how people will utilize their hearing aids does not exist. Furthermore, it is not known why some individuals are better hearing aid users than others. The research we have...
