An Auditory Performance Evaluation of Pediatric Hearing Aid Fittings.

Poissant, Sarah F.; Maxon, Antonia Brancia

Volta Review, v103 n3 p141-67 2001

Auditory performance of 40 5-year-old children was measured using a speech signal that simulated the amplified signal a child with hearing loss would hear. Subjects were restricted in their access to speech due to the hearing aid, the decreased sensation level (simulated hearing loss) at which they listened, and distance. (Contains references.)
