Cognition and hearing aids [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 2009 The perceptual information transmitted from a damaged cochlea to the brain is more poorly specified than information from an intact cochlea and requires more processing in working memory before language content can be decoded. In addition to making sounds audible, current hearing aids include several technologies that are intended to facilitate ...

Visualization and analysis of multi-channel dynamic range compression in hearing aids
Acta AcusticaOne main functionality of hearing aids is restoring audibility. This means that low sound pressure levels are amplified above the elevated hearing threshold, and higher sound pressure levels do not exceed the individual uncomfortable loudness level (UCL).

Acclimatization to Hearing Aids [PDF]
Ear & Hearing, 2014 Evidence for a clinically significant effect of acclimatization to hearing aids is mixed. The aim of this study was to test for auditory acclimatization effects in new unilateral and bilateral adult hearing aid users. Hypotheses were i) there would be improvements in aided speech recognition in new hearing aid users, compared with unaided listening and
