متن کاملAudiometric Configurations in Children
Recent studies suggest that the amplification needs of children and adults differ due to differences in perceptual ability. For example, several studies have confirmed that children realize greater benefit from a more audible speech signal (Stelmachowicz, Hoover, Lewis, Kortekaas and Pittman 2000; Stelmachowicz, Pittman, Hoover, Lewis and Moeller 2004), a higher signal-to-noise ratio (Hall and ...
متن کاملNHCA Professional Guide for Audiometric Baseline Revision
In a hearing conservation program (HCP), each employee’s baseline audiogram gives the reference hearing thresholds for that individual.
