Area of Science:

Audiology
Hearing Science
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Conventional hearing aid evaluations can be time-consuming.
Objective measures are needed to directly inform hearing aid prescription.

Observation:

Discomfort and most comfortable loudness levels were measured for narrow bands of noise across key frequencies (0.25-4 kHz).
These levels correlate with maximum power output and required gain/frequency response.

Findings:

A new procedure for specifying hearing aid response characteristics was developed.
This method directly links auditory function measures to hearing aid parameters.
The described technique is more time-efficient than traditional methods.

Implications:
