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...

Testing the binaural equal-loudness-ratio hypothesis with hearing-impaired listeners.

29 Jun 2009 The primary purpose of the present experiment was to test whether the binaural equal-loudness-ratio hypothesis (i.e., the loudness ratio between monaural and binaural tones presented at the same Sound Pressure Level, SPL, is independent of SPL) ... Read more...
