Benefit from, and acclimatization to, frequency compression hearing aids in experienced adult hearing-aid users.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate whether frequency compression (FC) hearing aids provide additional benefit to that conferred by conventional amplification. DESIGN Participants wore the same hearing aid with FC enabled and disabled for six weeks (ABA design) in each condition. Speech recognition tests (in both quiet and in noise) were administered alongside two questionnaires. Performance...
متن کاملThe contribution of a frequency-compression hearing aid to contralateral cochlear implant performance.
BACKGROUND Frequency-lowering signal processing in hearing aids has re-emerged as an option to improve audibility of the high frequencies by expanding the input bandwidth. Few studies have investigated the usefulness of the scheme as an option for bimodal users (i.e., combined use of a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid). In this study, that question was posed. PURPOSE The purpo...
متن کاملHearing aid benefit in patients with high-frequency hearing loss.
Patients with hearing loss limited to frequencies above 2 kHz are often considered borderline candidates for hearing aids. In this study, we used the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit to access 134 patients' perceived benefit with a variety of linear hearing aids, some more capable than others at achieving prescribed frequency gain targets. We also sought to explore various audiologic and subject ...
متن کاملHearing-aid outcome measured following one month of hearing aid use by the elderly.
This study reports the results of a large number of hearing-aid outcome measures obtained from 173 elderly hearing-aid wearers following one month of hearing-aid use. All participants in this study were fit binaurally with identical full-concha in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids having linear Class-D amplifiers with output-limiting compression. Outcome measures included several measures of speech re...
متن کاملPerceptual acclimatization post nonlinear frequency compression hearing aid fitting in older children.
PURPOSE In this study, the authors evaluated the effect of frequency compression hearing aids on speech perception ability and the time course and magnitude of acclimatization-related changes. METHOD Participants included children ages 11-18 years. Speech perception ability was evaluated over well-controlled baseline, treatment, and withdrawal study phases. Study-worn hearing aids were indivi...
