The aided threshold (and functional gain) has been discussed in the context of linear hearing aids since the early 1960s. The use of nonlinear hearing aids, however, could change the meaningfulness of this verification tool because of their unique characteristics. The interpretation of the aided threshold (and functional gain) as it pertains to linear and nonlinear hearing aids is reviewed. Also discussed are the ideas of an optimal aided threshold, factors that may affect its magnitude. and a comparison between functional gain arid insertion gain measures. Finally, how to Improve the accuracy of the aided thresholds (and functional gain) through the use of in-situ unaided threshold measurements is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
