Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe High Frequency Hearing Loss
نویسندگان
چکیده
Providing audible amplified signals for listeners with severe high frequency hearing loss is somewhat controversial. Various strategies have been proposed for use in assessing hearing thresholds, and for providing full, limited, or no audibility for hearing levels in the severe to profound range. This chapter will review current knowledge on the efficacy of audibility in the high frequencies, testing for dead regions in the cochlea, and review current fitting strategies for providing amplification for severe high frequency hearing loss. Case studies will be used to illustrate test results where applicable.
