ACCLIMATIZATION AND THE EVALUATION OF ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

适应声放大将被调查，作为一个 听力图配置功能、既往助听器使用情况及其他 相关因素。 以前的驯化研究仅限于 线性助听器语音识别性能的研究。 的 拟议的一系列实验将扩大适应范围， 研究包括非线性放大，以及多个存储器 helling艾滋病。 所获得的测量将包括言语的主观和客观测量 可理解性、语音质量和助听器益处的测量。 从听力损失中预测日常助听器使用适应性的方法 将对实验室数据进行评价。 在这些文件中获得的信息 实验将导致更有效的helling援助的发展 安装程序。

Acclimatization to acoustic amplification will be investigated as a function of audiogram configuration, previous hearing-aid use, and other relevant factors. Previous acclimatization research has been limited tot he study of speech recognition performance with linear hearing aids. The proposed series of experiments will expand the area of acclimatization research to include non-linear amplification, as well as multiple memory hering aids. Measures obtained will include subjective and objective measures of speech intelligibility, measures of speech quality, and of hearing aid benefit. Methods for predicting acclimatization to everyday hearing-aid use from laboratory data will be evaluated. The information obtained in these experiments will lead to the development of more effective hering aid fitting procedures.
