Evidence for Benefits of Bilateral Hearing Aids
This paper is part of a large nation-wide study on the benefits of bilateral hearing aid fittings in the Netherlands. The study is designed to assess the added value of fitting a second hearing aid, to develop tools to evaluate this objectively, and to predict a positive effect from diagnostic tests. Due to the aging population in Western Europe, an increase in the number of hearing aid users i...
متن کاملBenefit from spatial separation of multiple talkers in bilateral hearing-aid users: Effects of hearing loss, age, and cognition.
To study the spatial hearing abilities of bilateral hearing-aid users in multi-talker situations, 20 subjects received fittings configured to preserve acoustic cues salient for spatial hearing. Following acclimatization, speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured for three competing talkers that were either co-located or spatially separated along the front-back or left-right dimension. In...
متن کاملUnilateral and bilateral hearing aids, spatial release from masking and auditory acclimatization.
Spatial release from masking (SRM) was tested within the first week of fitting and after 12 weeks hearing aid use for unilateral and bilateral adult hearing aid users. A control group of experienced hearing aid users completed testing over a similar time frame. The main research aims were (1) to examine auditory acclimatization effects on SRM performance for unilateral and bilateral hearing aid...
متن کاملTime-Varying Distortions of Binaural Information by Bilateral Hearing Aids
In patients with bilateral hearing loss, the use of two hearing aids (HAs) offers the potential to restore the benefits of binaural hearing, including sound source localization and segregation. However, existing evidence suggests that bilateral HA users' access to binaural information, namely interaural time and level differences (ITDs and ILDs), can be compromised by device processing. Our obj...
متن کاملReal-world benefit from directional microphone hearing aids.
This article summarizes data from a 3-year, double-blinded study of directional hearing aid benefit. Ninety-four subjects in three hearing loss groups, all previous users of omnidirectional output-compression hearing aids, completed all aspects of the study. Participants were fit with new hearing aids for 1 month in a directional mode and 1 month in an omnidirectional mode. Following 1 month of...
