Direct-to-consumer (DTC) hearing devices can be purchased without consulting a hearing
health professional. This project aims to compare 28 DTC devices with the most popular …

Hearing aids are a relatively non-invasive means of reducing the negative effects of hearing
loss on an individual who does not require a cochlear implant. Music amplified through …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate how digital noise reduction (DNR) impacts
listening effort and judgment of sound clarity in children with normal hearing. It was …

Objectives: The performance of hearing aids is generally characterized by a small set of
standardized measurements. The primary goals of these procedures are to measure basic …

Purpose A reduction in hearing sensitivity is often considered to be a normal age-related
change. Recent studies have revisited prior ways of thinking about sensory changes over …

The clinical usefulness of aided cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) remains unclear
despite several decades of research. One major contributor to this ambiguity is the wide …

Hearing aids are the primary tool in non-medical rehabilitation for individuals with hearing
loss. While the costs of the electronic components have reduced substantially, the cost of a …

Noise reduction (NR) algorithms are employed in nearly all commercially available hearing
aids to attenuate background noise. However, NR processing also involves undesirable …

Objectives: Despite the widespread use of noise reduction (NR) in modern digital hearing
aids, our neurophysiological understanding of how NR affects speech-in-noise perception …

Purpose The validity of using the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) as an objective
measure of hearing aid outcome has been questioned in the literature due to stimulus …
