How Neuroscience Relates to Hearing Aid Amplification

چکیده
Hearing aids are used to improve sound audibility for people with hearing loss, but the ability to make use of the amplified signal, especially in the presence of competing noise, can vary across people. Here we review how neuroscientists, clinicians, and engineers are using various types of physiological information to improve the design and use of hearing aids.

متن کاملFrom The Department of Clinical Neuroscience Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden BILATERAL HEARING AIDS FOR BILATERALLY HEARING-IMPAIRED PERSONS – ALWAYS THE BEST CHOICE?
The most logical solution if a person has a hearing impairment on both ears, seems to be bilateral hearing aid amplification in both ears. Numerous studies have shown the advantages of this fitting strategy. However, there were always some individuals not benefiting from bilateral hearing aids; until recently a neglected group of persons. The first part of the present work examines patterns of ...
متن کاملFitting hearing aids with the Articulation Index: impact on hearing aid effectiveness.
Although most clinical tests focus on how much a particular hearing aid improves speech audibility under controlled conditions, it is unclear how these measures relate to hearing aid effectiveness, or the benefit perceived by the patient under everyday conditions. In this study, the relationship between audibility and hearing aid effectiveness was examined in a cohort of patients who obtained h...
