Advances in Hearing Aid Technology

Achieving prescribed gain/frequency responses with advances in hearing aid technology.

Technological limitations have restricted the capability of older generation in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids to closely match prescribed real ear gain/frequency responses. Newer technology, widely available in currently marketed ITE hearing aids, has considerably improved this capability. Data for 60 ears are presented comparing the real ear insertion gain (REIG) actually achieved to the target R...

The future of hearing aid technology.

Hearing aids have advanced significantly over the past decade, primarily due to the maturing of digital technology. The next decade should see an even greater number of innovations to hearing aid technology, and this article attempts to predict in which areas the new developments will occur. Both incremental and radical innovations in digital hearing aids will be driven by research advances in ...

Advances in Filter Aid and Precoat Filtration Technology

The use of filter aids and precoat filtration is ubiquitous in a wide number of industries, including chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, mining, municipal (potable) water treatment and waste treatment. World Minerals Inc., the parent company of Celite and Harborlite, and other organizations have recently made major advances in filter aid technology. These advances have now pushed the ...

Auditory profiling and hearing-aid satisfaction in hearing-aid candidates.

INTRODUCTION Hearing-impaired (HI) listeners often complain about difficulties communicating in the presence of background noise, although audibility may be restored by a hearing-aid (HA). The audiogram typically forms the basis for HA fitting, i.e. people with similar audiograms are given the same prescription by default. This study aimed at identifying clinically relevant tests that may serve...
