Background:

The Starkey Hearing System Laboratory (HSL) is a tool used in audiology and related fields.
Previous versions of the HSL had limitations in programming efficiency, subject response capabilities, and feedback mechanisms.
Enhancing these functions is crucial for both educational and research purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

To modify the Starkey HSL for improved programming, subject response, and feedback functionalities.
To enhance the HSL's utility in classroom demonstrations.
To broaden the HSL's applicability in clinical and research settings.

Main Methods:

Implemented a Memory Address Modifier for more efficient programming.
Introduced a Response Box to better capture subject responses.
Integrated Logic Control for advanced feedback functions.

Main Results:

The modified HSL allows for more efficient programming, enabling multiple experiments to be pre-programmed.
Subject responses can now be demonstrated in real-time, mirroring actual experimental conditions.
The enhanced feedback system provides greater control and insight.

Conclusions:

The modifications significantly improved the Starkey HSL's efficiency and functionality.
The enhanced HSL is more effective for educational demonstrations.
The updated system holds greater potential for clinical audiology and research applications.
