Wireless telephones and hearing aids: an overview.
نویسنده
چکیده
Wireless telephones are becoming increasingly common and will be more so in the future. Unfortunately, many are unusable with hearing aids and may actively interfere with the normal use of hearing aids because of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by wireless telephones. The EMI generated by digital wireless telephones is much greater than that of analog wireless telephones. More research and design work needs to be done before wireless telephones can be considered accessible to people who use hearing aids.

متن کاملWireless telephone-hearing aid electromagnetic compatibility research at the University of Oklahoma.
A multiphase study examining electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between wireless digital telephones and hearing aids has been under way at the University of Oklahoma EMC Center since May 1995. In a phase 1 clinical study involving 68 hearing aid wearers, interference varied significantly by telephone technology, hearing aid type, and hearing loss characteristics. More than 80 percent of the te...
متن کاملDigital wireless telephones and hearing aids: new challenges for audiology.
W hen the telephone was first invented, it was regarded as a luxury that only the wealthy could afford, and, as a result, its use grew slowly at first. More widespread use of the telephone occurred as the telephone system continued to expand, offering more people the opportunity to communicate across greater distances at lower costs. A similar trend occurred with other technological marvels of ...
متن کاملAlgorithms for future commercial hearing aids
This paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art and the main challenges in hearing aid signal processing and describes which algorithms are candidates to be implemented in coming hearing aid generations. The future availability of a wireless link between both hearing aids will be taken into account. The main focus will be on directional microphones, classification systems and adaptive feed...
