Evaluation of a Frequency-Lowering Algorithm for Adults With High-Frequency Hearing Loss
The objective was to determine the effects of a frequency-lowering algorithm (frequency composition, Fcomp) on consonant identification, word-final /s, z/ detection, the intelligibility of sentences in noise, and subjective benefit, for people with high-frequency hearing loss, including people with dead regions (DRs) in the cochlea. A single-blind randomized crossover design was used. Performan...
متن کاملAutomated Screening for High-Frequency Hearing Loss
OBJECTIVE Hearing loss at high frequencies produces perceptual difficulties and is often an early sign of a more general hearing loss. This study reports the development and validation of two new speech-based hearing screening tests in English that focus on detecting hearing loss at frequencies above 2000 Hz. DESIGN The Internet-delivered, speech-in noise tests used closed target-word sets of...
متن کاملEvaluation of wideband frequency responses and non-linear frequency compression for children with mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate wideband amplification and non-linear frequency compression (NLFC) as a means to improve speech recognition for children with mild/moderate hearing loss. DESIGN Randomized within-subject design with repeated measures across test conditions. STUDY SAMPLE Eleven children with mild to moderate hearing loss were evaluated with: (1) Phonak BTE without NLFC, (2) Phonak BTE w...
متن کاملHearing aid benefit in patients with high-frequency hearing loss.
Patients with hearing loss limited to frequencies above 2 kHz are often considered borderline candidates for hearing aids. In this study, we used the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit to access 134 patients' perceived benefit with a variety of linear hearing aids, some more capable than others at achieving prescribed frequency gain targets. We also sought to explore various audiologic and subject ...
متن کاملImplications of high-frequency cochlear dead regions for fitting hearing aids to adults with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
OBJECTIVES A cochlear dead region (DR) occurs at a given frequency when there is a loss of normal functioning of inner hair cells tuned to that frequency. It has been suggested that existence of high-frequency DRs has implications for hearing aid fitting, and that the optimal amount of high-frequency gain is reduced for these patients. However, the data supporting this suggestion has been obtai...
