Predicting hearing aid response in real ears.
A hearing aid fitted to different ears will produce very different sound pressure spectra in the ear canal. In addition, this variation in response is different among hearing aids. A description in terms of an electrical analog model of the ear and hearing aid system is given. The applicability of this model is tested through series of measurements. The measurement and prediction procedure was ...
متن کاملCognitive Processing Speed, Working Memory, and the Intelligibility of Hearing Aid-Processed Speech in Persons with Hearing Impairment
Previous studies have demonstrated that successful listening with advanced signal processing in digital hearing aids is associated with individual cognitive capacity, particularly working memory capacity (WMC). This study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive abilities (cognitive processing speed and WMC) and individual listeners' responses to digital signal processing settings in...

this study examined hearing loss prevalence and hearing aid usage rates among korean elders by comparing the differences between those with and without hearing loss, and between those who used and did not use hearing aids.this study was based on data collected during the korean national health and nutrition examination survey v (2010-2012). the study sample consisted of 5,447 koreans aged ≥60 y...
متن کاملPredicting hearing aid microphone preference in everyday listening.
Seventeen hearing-impaired adults were fit with omnidirectional/directional hearing aids, which they wore during a four-week trial. For each listening situation encountered in daily living during a total of seven days, participants selected the preferred microphone mode and described the listening situation in terms of five environmental variables, using a paper and pencil form. Results indicat...
متن کاملAuditory profiling and hearing-aid satisfaction in hearing-aid candidates.
INTRODUCTION Hearing-impaired (HI) listeners often complain about difficulties communicating in the presence of background noise, although audibility may be restored by a hearing-aid (HA). The audiogram typically forms the basis for HA fitting, i.e. people with similar audiograms are given the same prescription by default. This study aimed at identifying clinically relevant tests that may serve...
