ACCLIMATIZATION AND THE EVALUATION OF ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION SYSTEMS

对声学放大的适应情况将作为一项 听力图配置、以前使用助听器等功能 相关因素。以前的驯化研究仅限于 他研究了线性助听器的语音识别性能。这个 拟议的一系列实验将扩大适应领域 研究包括非线性放大以及多个存储器 爱滋病患者。 所获得的测量将包括主观和客观的言语测量 可理解性、语音质量和助听器益处的衡量标准。 预测人们对日常助听器使用适应的方法 将对实验室数据进行评估。在这些文件中获得的信息 实验将导致开发更有效的赫林援助 试衣程序。

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.
