The Effects of Silicone and Acrylic Ear Mold Materials on Outer Ear Canal Resonance Characteristics.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of earmolds made of silicone and acrylic on outer ear canal resonance characteristics in terms of resonance frequency and amplitude measured in a hearing aid fitting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Outer ear canal resonance frequencies and amplitudes in open ears and those measured with silicone and acrylic ear molds were obtained from 30 ...
متن کاملReliability of real ear insertion gain in behind-the-ear hearing aids with different coupling systems to the ear canal
OBJECTIVE The last decade has offered a multitude of instant fit coupling systems to be fitted with behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids. The impact of these designs on the reliability of real ear measurements (REMs) has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to obtain REM reliability data for instant fit coupling systems. DESIGN REM reliability data was obtained for four different ins...
متن کاملEvaluation of an in-situ output probe-microphone method for hearing aid fitting verification.
Several hearing aid prescription procedures specify frequency gain functions in terms of the desired levels of amplified speech. The most direct method for verifying hearing aid fittings based on these procedures requires a measurement of amplified speech in the ear canal. This paper describes the evaluation of a probe microphone measurement procedure designed to measure amplified speech to ver...
متن کاملComparison of in-situ calibration methods for quantifying input to the middle ear.
Sound pressure level in-situ measurements are sensitive to standing-wave pressure minima and have the potential to result in over-amplification with risk to residual hearing in hearing-aid fittings. Forward pressure level (FPL) quantifies the pressure traveling toward the tympanic membrane and may be a potential solution as it is insensitive to ear-canal pressure minima. Derivation of FPL is de...
متن کاملAmplification and Aural Rehabilitation Reliability and lntersubject Variability of the Real Ear Unaided Response
lntratester test-retest reliability of the real ear unaided response (REUR) was determined on 49 ears using the Frye 6500 real ear analyzer. Results revealed mean differences of less than 1 dB for repeat measurements at seven test frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz. The average peak resonant frequency of the repeated measure was within 16 Hz of the initial measure. In addition, the intersubjec...
