Fine Tuning Multi-Channel Compression Hearing Instruments

Jan 2, 2001 | Hearing Aids, People, Research | 0 |

When fine tuning a hearing instrument in response to a patient’s complaint, the dispensing professional has to gain a clear understanding of the problem (and the listening situation in which the problem occurs) as well as an understanding of the hearing instrument itself. This article addresses basic fine-tuning concepts and also describes the use of a worksheet that can help drive the process.

Temporal Pattern Processing of Hearing Instruments

Jan 1, 2001 | In the Ear | 0 |

Spectrograms of sound samples are illustrated as examples of a relatively simple and inexpensive method for providing valuable information during the assessment of hearing instrument function. Examples include distortion caused by a drained battery, the effect of a frequency transposition algorithm and the implementation of a speech enhancement algorithm.
