Elements of Effective Hearing Aid Performance (2004)
High-performance hearing aids require flat insertion gain (before processing) and low distortion, so that when signal processing is introduced the pre-processed response of the aid does not bias the processing. High-performance hearing aids need to process the signal to compensate for the patient's perceptive distortions (primarily accentuated high-frequency hearing loss and recruitment), and t...
متن کاملHow Do Vents Affect Hearing Aid Performance?
with an occluding earmold; data above “0” suggest a gain increase (from resonance) while that below “0” suggest gain reduction with the specific vent dimension (length and diameter). The solid line shows the result of a 6 mmlong vent, while the dotted line shows that of a 22 mm-long vent. For both vent lengths, one sees more low-frequency gain reduction as the vent diameter increases. For examp...
متن کاملEvaluation of hearing aid benefit using the Shortened Hearing Aid Performance Inventory.
To date, little quantitative data regarding hearing aid benefit has been produced in New Zealand. The 38-item Shortened Hearing Aid Performance Inventory (SHAPI) was administered by mail to hearing aid clients aged over 50 years who had been fitted with hearing aids in the previous 2 years. Based on subjects' responses, three items with low applicability were dropped from the analysis. The over...
متن کاملResponses of elderly hearing aid users on the hearing aid performance inventory.
The responses of hearing aid users aged 65 to 80 years to a 64-item measure of perceived benefit afforded by hearing aids were collected in order to develop normative data concerning the perceived benefit afforded specifically to elderly patients. Across most of the listening situations evaluated, the elderly respondents reported less perceived benefit than the generally younger listeners from ...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Profile of Hearing Aid Performance (PHAP).
This paper reports the development of the Profile of Hearing Aid Performance (PHAP), a 66-item self-administered inventory that quantifies performance with a hearing aid in everyday life using both seven-score and four-score profiles. The profiles assess experience with amplification in terms of speech communication in three types of listening situations and in terms of reactions to amplified e...
