Changing How Gain is Selected: The Benefits of
Combining Datalogging and a Learning VC
|
| |
by Josef Chalupper, PhD |
| |
Many people who have hearing instruments equipped with a volume control report that it is necessary
to adjust the gain several times per day for different listening environments. A new hearing aid
that combines datalogging and a learning VC for automatic adjustment of gain addresses
this problem. |

Transient Impulse Control for Hearing Aids
|
| |
by Donald Hayes, PhD |
| |
Transient impulses consist of intense pulses of acoustic energy rising well above the long-term average
of the surrounding environment, causing annoyance to hearing aid users. A new hearing aid provides
a natural sound quality that is both clear and comfortable without distorting the perception
of speech or the target transient. |
