Type of Speech Material Affects Acceptable Noise Level Test Outcome
The acceptable noise level (ANL) test, in which individuals indicate what level of noise they are willing to put up with while following speech, has been used to guide hearing aid fitting decisions and has been found to relate to prospective hearing aid use. Unlike objective measures of speech perception ability, ANL outcome is not related to individual hearing loss or age, but rather reflects ...
متن کاملFurther questions about the acceptable noise level test.
I appreciated the October special issue on acceptable noise level (ANL), edited by Anna Nabelek. It is a fascinating test, and I agree that the test may help us identify those at greatest need for noise-reduction technology (Nabelek et al, 2006), and perhaps it will help us in setting hearing aid algorithm levels. Adding to their conjecture, I wonder if those with good (low) ANLs would be intol...
متن کاملAcceptable noise level with Danish ,
Objective: Acceptable Noise Level (ANL) has been established as a method to quantify the acceptance of background noise while listening to speech presented at the most comfortable level. The aim of the present study was to generate Danish, Swedish, and a non-semantic version of the ANL test and investigate normal-hearing Danish and Swedish subjects’ performance on these tests. Design: ANL was m...
متن کاملThe 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: repeatability with Danish and non-semantic speech materials for adults with normal hearing.
OBJECTIVE The acceptable noise level (ANL) is used to quantify the amount of background noise that subjects can accept while listening to speech, and is suggested for prediction of individual hearing-aid use. The aim of this study was to assess the repeatability of the ANL measured in normal-hearing subjects using running Danish and non-semantic speech materials as stimuli and modulated speech-...
