Observations on hearing aid users' strategies for controlling the level of their own voice.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that hearing-aid users have difficulties with own-voice level control, most likely because their auditory feedback is affected by hearing-aid amplification. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate how ... Read more...

Comparison of vent effects between a solid earmold and a hollow earmold.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Hollow earmolds have become a popular type of earmold used in thin-tube, microsize hearing aid fittings. It is desirable for clinicians to be familiar with their characteristics and limitations. PURPOSE: This investigation compared the ... Read more...

Interaural correlation and the binaural summation of loudness.

30 May 2009 The effect of interaural correlation (rho) on the loudness for noisebands was measured using a loudness-matching task in naive listeners. The task involved a sequence of loudness comparisons for which the intensity of one stimulus in a given ... Read more...
