["Slukh-3"--an expert system for the individual selection of hearing aids]

Herein is described the algorithm of an expert system intended for the individual choice of hearing aids, based on SM-4 computer. The audiometric data and hearing aids bank information allow to select for each patient the most preferable unit, regarded as suitable from the view of speech distinction. Moreover, with the help of this system it is possible to identify the most preferable way for manufacturing the audition prosthetic appliance (mono-or binaural) and to get recommendations for manufacturing prosthetic appliances for each ear individually; and for mono-aural prosthetic manufacturing--to identify the best version of the prosthesis for each ear individually. This system is most effective for the manufacture of audition prosthetic appliances for people with defective hearing.
