We have developed a new digital hearing aid system called CLAIDHA (compensate for loudness by analyzing digital hearing aid), which employs frequency-dependent amplitude compression based on narrow-band compensation. Although the clinical application of this new digital hearing aid has revealed the better intelligibility of the speech perception, it was sometimes harder to obtain the suitable frequency-gain characteristics for each subject, compared to the fitting of the conventional hearing aid. Only a well-trained skillful doctor sometimes could fit the aid appropriately in such difficult cases. Accordingly, patients who lived in distant area sometimes needed to visit the well-trained doctor in order to obtain the benefit of the digital hearing aid.Therefore, in the present study, a remote fitting system using the computer network has been developed in order to realize an appropriate fitting of the aid without visiting the well-trained doctor from a distance. The results obtained revealed that it is possible to fit the aid by using the remote fitting system as a conventional methods.

我们开发了一种名为 CLAIDHA（通过分析数字助听器补偿响度）的新型数字助听器系统，该系统采用基于窄带补偿的频率相关幅度压缩。尽管这种新型数字助听器的临床应用表明其语音感知的清晰度更好，但与传统助听器的验配相比，有时更难以为每个受试者获得合适的频率增益特性。有时，只有训练有素、技术精湛的医生才能在如此困难的情况下提供适当的帮助。因此，居住在遥远地区的患者有时需要拜访训练有素的医生才能获得数字助听器的好处。因此，在本研究中，开发了一种使用计算机网络的远程验配系统，以便实现助听器的适当验配，而无需远距离拜访训练有素的医生。获得的结果表明，使用远程验配系统作为传统方法来验配辅助器具是可能的。
