Hearing aid accessories for adults: the remote FM microphone.
OBJECTIVE The primary goal was to determine the benefits and limitations of a remote FM microphone as a hearing aid accessory. A secondary goal was to determine the predictors of aided and FM-assisted speech perception by adults with hearing loss, in quiet and in noise, using methods derived from Articulation Index theory. DESIGN Twelve adults with mild to severe hearing loss, aged 52 to 85, ...
متن کاملA Review of Assistive Listening Device and Digital Wireless Technology for Hearing Instruments
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) refer to various types of amplification equipment designed to improve the communication of individuals with hard of hearing to enhance the accessibility to speech signal when individual hearing instruments are not sufficient. There are many types of ALDs to overcome a triangle of speech to noise ratio (SNR) problems, noise, distance, and reverberation. ALDs va...
متن کاملInterfacing FM Systems with Implantable Hearing Devices
Cochlear implant recipients can reduce the challenges they encounter in noisy environments through the use of a remote microphone. Although there are numerous options for delivering the signal from the frequency modulated (FM) transmitter worn by the speaker to the FM receiver coupled to the implant, several have now been verified through research as viable, beneficial arrangements. Recommendat...
متن کاملListeners who prefer monaural to binaural hearing aids.
Four patients who preferred monaural as compared with binaural amplification were evaluated. For these patients, audiometric data, recognition performance on a dichotic digit task, and monaural and binaural hearing aid performance using four amplification strategies (National Acoustic Laboratories-Revised, a speech in noise algorithm, multiple-microphone arrays, and frequency modulated [FM]) ar...
متن کاملOptimizing the benefit of sound processors coupled to personal FM systems.
BACKGROUND Use of personal frequency modulated (FM) systems significantly improves speech recognition in noise for users of cochlear implants (CI). There are, however, a number of adjustable parameters of the cochlear implant and FM receiver that may affect performance and benefit, and there is limited evidence to guide audiologists in optimizing these parameters. PURPOSE This study examined ...
