A discussion of the protocols used particularly in the clinical application of the Desired
Sensation Level (DSL) Method is presented in this chapter. In the first section, the …

Clinicians have long been aware of the range of performance variability with hearing aids.
Despite improvements in technology, there remain many instances of well-selected and …

Objectives: Cross-language studies, as reflected by the scalp-recorded frequency-following
response (FFR) to voice pitch, have shown the influence of dominant linguistic environments …

The predicted real-ear-to-coupler difference (RECD) values currently used in pediatric
hearing instrument prescription methods are based on 12-month age range categories and …

Objective: The objective of this study was to predict consonant recognition scores of adults,
children, and children with hearing impairment, using the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII). It …

Objective: To develop an algorithm that prescribes targets for bone conduction frequency
response shape, compression, and output limiting, along with a clinical method that ensures …

Neural plasticity of pitch processing mechanisms at the human brainstem, as reflected by the
scalp-recorded frequency-following response (FFR) to voice pitch, has been reported for …

Objective The purpose of the study was to compare the measured real-ear sound pressure
level (SPL) of audiometer output with the derived real-ear SPL obtained by adding the …

The real-ear-to-coupler difference (RECD) is an ANSI standardized method for estimating
ear canal sound pressure level (SPL) thresholds and assisting in the prediction of real-ear …

The preferred listening levels (PLLs) of children with sensorineural hearing loss were
elicited using conversation-level speech, heard through the children's own hearing aids. All …
