Visualization and analysis of multi-channel dynamic range compression in hearing aids

Acta Acustica
One 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).

Spatial Hearing and Hearing Aids [PDF]

, 2016
The questions of whether hearing-impaired listeners are also impaired for the localization of sounds and what benefits hearing aids can provide are important for understanding the wider effects of hearing impairment. We review here 29 studies published since 1983 that have measured acuity for changes in the horizontal-plane direction of sound sources ...
