A Technical Comparison of Digital Frequency-Lowering Algorithms Available in Two Current Hearing Aids
BACKGROUND Recently two major manufacturers of hearing aids introduced two distinct frequency-lowering techniques that were designed to compensate in part for the perceptual effects of high-frequency hearing impairments. The Widex "Audibility Extender" is a linear frequency transposition scheme, whereas the Phonak "SoundRecover" scheme employs nonlinear frequency compression. Although these sch...
متن کاملComparison of two frequency lowering algorithms for digital hearing aids
A considerable percentage of listeners with severe hearing loss have audiograms where the losses are high for high frequencies and low for low frequencies. For these patients, lowering the speech spectrum to the frequencies where there is some residual hearing could be a good solution to be implemented for digital hearing aids. In this paper we have presented two different frequency–lowering al...
متن کاملComparison of two digitally programmable hearing aids.
The purpose of this project was to compare the Widex Quattro and the Ensoniq Sound Selector hearing instruments as to benefits (real and perceived) and overall convenience. It is the premise of the Ensoniq designers that a high fidelity (wide band) hearing aid is adequate for all listening conditions due to its exact reproduction of sound. Conversely, it is the premise of the Quattro designers ...
متن کاملA comparison of Lyric with digital hearing aids
A study was conducted at the “Hörzentrum Oldenburg” (Hearing Center Oldenburg) in Germany to compare Lyric with digital hearing aids. The 12 participants in the study were experienced users of digital hearing aids. These subjects underwent various tests at the beginning of the study while wearing their own digital hearing aids. The same tests were readministered after the subjects had been fitt...
