Prescriptive Procedures
نویسنده
چکیده
Since its inception, Audiology has been concerned with hearing aid selection and the interaction of the hearing impaired person and amplification . The classic work of Watson and Knudsen (1) and Lybarger (2) suggests a long clinical interest in prescribing parameters for hearing aids according to audiometric measurements . In the early days, prescriptive procedures were neglected due to technologic limitations and viewpoints of that time. Teter (3) suggests that the combination of the Harvard Report (4) and the comparative hearing aid evaluation approach (5) led hearing aid selection away from prescriptive technology. It has only been in the last decade that we have returned to the prescriptive approach . The development of sophisticated in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids and the probe microphone have facilitated the renaissance of prescriptive fitting techniques.

متن کاملPrescriptive Procedures for Infants and Children
In the context of early intervention, infants will wear their hearing aids at fixed, cliniciandetermined settings for months or years before they are able to clearly express their preferences. Therefore, the validity of the clinician-determined hearing aid settings may be of crucial importance for auditory development in the early years of life. In this chapter the validity of prescriptive appr...
متن کاملAdaptive procedures for hearing aid prescription and other audiologic applications.
A class of adaptive procedures is described. These procedures are relatively easy to implement and have many useful properties for audiologic applications. Recent advances in programmable hearing aids enable these techniques to be used effectively in adaptive prescriptive fitting of a hearing aid. All of the procedures are based on the simple up-down technique that, in addition to its simplicit...
