Journal ArticleDOI
The National Acoustic Laboratories' (NAL) new procedure for selecting the gain and frequency response of a hearing aid.
Denis Byrne,Harvey Dillon +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the new formula for selecting the gain and frequency response of a hearing aid should prescribe a near optimal frequency response with few exceptions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The long-term average speech spectrum (LTASS) and some dynamic characteristics of speech were determined for 12 languages: English (several dialects), Swedish, Danish, German, French (Canadian), Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Welsh, Singhalese, and Vietnamese.
Journal Article
NAL-NL1 procedure for fitting nonlinear hearing AIDS: Characteristics and comparisons with other procedures
TL;DR: A new procedure for fitting nonlinear hearing aids (National Acoustic Laboratories' nonlinear fitting procedure, version 1 [NAL-NL1]) is described, the rationale is to maximize speech intelligibility while constraining loudness to be normal or less.
Journal Article
Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) and its relationship to several other measures of benefit and satisfaction provided by hearing aids.
Harvey Dillon,A James,J. Ginis +2 more
TL;DR: Several methods for measuring the self-reported benefit and satisfaction provided by a hearing aid were compared by administering all methods to each of 98 subjects, suggesting that most of the measures provide valid estimates of benefit and/or satisfaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speech recognition of hearing-impaired listeners: predictions from audibility and the limited role of high-frequency amplification.
TL;DR: Results indicate that audibility cannot adequately explain speech recognition of many hearing-impaired listeners, and suggest that for people with severe or profound losses at the high frequencies, amplification should only achieve a low or zero sensation level at this region, contrary to the implications of the unmodified SII.
