听力保健专业人员经常需要向外行人解释听力损失。例如，父母被告知他们的孩子有听力损失，可以理解他们渴望尽可能多地了解这种情况。但提供这些信息并不是一件简单的任务，因为很少有人能很好地理解声音的最基本概念，如频率和强度，更不用说听力，听力损失和语音感知的声学线索了。在这种情况下，能够证明特定听力损失的障碍以及助听器或人工耳蜗植入物可以提供的益处将是有帮助的。原则上，可以通过听力损失和假肢模拟器提供这种演示。理想的听力损失模拟器在它可以模拟的听力损失的类型和范围方面是无限的。它将很容易编程，并允许演示各种相关的测试刺激。这种理想的听力损失模拟器将补充助听器和人工耳蜗植入的模拟。总之，他们将能够为正常听力的听众复制与实际听力障碍相关的沟通缺陷和假肢的好处。虽然多年来已经开发了各种听力损失模拟，但没有一种被广泛使用。甚至使用听力损失模拟作为工具的概念可能对听力保健领域的许多人来说都是陌生的。因此，我们将开始讨论听力损失和假体模拟的一些用途。然后，我们将回顾模拟听力损失的方法，并将以专门为听力学应用设计的新模拟系统的描述作为结论。
Hearing healthcare professionals frequently need to explain hearing loss to laypersons. For example, parents who have been told that their child has a hearing loss are understandably eager to learn as much as possible about the condition. But providing this information is no simple task, as few people have a good understanding of even the most basic concepts of sound, such as frequency and intensity, not to mention hearing, hearing loss, and acoustic cues for speech perception. In such situations, it would be helpful to be able to demonstrate both the handicap of a particular hearing loss and the benefits that a hearing aid or a cochlear implant can provide. Such demonstrations could be provided, in principle, by a hearing loss and prosthesis simulator. The ideal hearing loss simulator would be unlimited in the types and range of hearing losses it could simulate. It would be easily programmed, and would allow demonstrations with a variety of relevant test stimuli. This ideal hearing loss simulator would be supplemented with simulations of hearing aids and cochlear implants. Together, they would be capable of duplicating for normal-hearing listeners the communication deficits associated with actual hearing impairment and the benefits from prostheses. Although various hearing loss simulations have been developed over the years, none has become widely used. Even the notion of using hearing loss simulation as a tool may be foreign to many in the hearing healthcare field. We shall begin, therefore, by discussing some of the uses of hearing loss and prosthesis simulations. We will then review methods for simulating hearing loss, and will conclude with a description of a new simulation system that has been designed specifically for audiologic applications.
