Uses and Abuses of Hearing Aids
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1980The view is expressed that many hearing-impaired individuals are not deriving maximum benefit from amplification or are not using amplification at all because of failure of professionals to keep in mind certain uses and abuses. Some of the specific uses are for minimal and profound hearing losses, adaptation with special earmold modifications, chronic ...

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1976
Up to 3 million people in Britain might be helped by hearing aids.1 2 Most are over 65 years of age, but some are infants. All should be referred to specialist centres for assessment as soon as possible. Hearing aids generally help most in disorders of the middle ear (conductive hearing loss); they can also help those with sensorineural and other forms

Method for the regulation of a hearing aid, a hearing aid and the use thereof
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991A hearing aid for relieving high frequency hearing loss, includes a volume control that allows the user to gradually adjust and increase the degree of compensation at a pace which corresponds to their particular need. The volume control changes the slope of the response from a flat insertion gain response, when it is turned down, to a rising insertion ...

Objective assessment of hearing aid use
Scandinavian Audiology, 2001Hearing aid use was assessed using both objective (time recorded in the memory of the hearing aid) and subjective methods (interview and patient diary) in a clinical series of consecutive adult female and male Finnish and Norwegian hearing aid candidates (n = 84). The median study time was 34 days (minimum 21, maximum 73).

Hearing Aids and the Use of Residual Hearing
Australian Journal of Human Communication Disorders, 1976Some commonly met problems relating to hearing aids and the use of residual hearing are examined. These include (1) the use of high powered head level aids on profoundly hearing impaired children, (2) choosing an optimal frequency range, (3) peaks in output power in the mid-frequency range, (4) underfitting and overfitting and (5) hearing aid selection

Factors Influencing Use of Hearing Aids
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1978A follow-up questionnaire was mailed to new hearing aid users. The questionnaire responses of 430 persons, 73% of the sample, were related to age, audiometric, and hearing aid evaluation data obtained at the time of fitting. Reported usage of the aids was also analyzed in terms of the type of fitting and according to length of postfitting training ...

Prediction of Deterioration in Hearing due to Hearing Aid Use
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1991There is a definite risk of overamplification by hearing aids. Guidelines should therefore be established that will minimize the risk of damage to hearing involved in hearing aid use. A mathematical model that can be used for this purpose is derived from equations for predicting noise-induced permanent threshold shift given in International Standard ...

Hearing Aid Use in Nursing Homes, Part 1: Prevalence Rates of Hearing Impairment and Hearing Aid Use
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2004Although hearing impairment is among the most common chronic ailments of older persons, the problem is even greater among those in nursing homes. It is estimated that 70% to 90% of elderly residents in long-term care facilities have some degree of hearing impairment.

The Effect of Type of Hearing Loss on Hearing AID Use
Scandinavian Audiology, 1985This study examined the effect of type of loss and reduced PB discrimination on hours of daily hearing aid wear. Patient data were entered in one of four matrices designed to permit examination of one variable while balancing the effects of other variables.

A Naturalistic Approach to Assessing Hearing Aid Candidacy and Motivating Hearing Aid Use
Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2009Background: Although the benefits of amplification for persons with impaired hearing are well established, many potential candidates do not obtain and use hearing aids. In some cases, this is because the individual is not convinced that amplification will be of sufficient benefit in those everyday listening situations where he or she is experiencing ...
