Hearing-aid-processed tone pips: electroacoustic and ABR characteristics.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many studies have reported the speech recognition benefits of a personal remote microphone system when used by adult listeners with hearing loss. The advance of wireless technology has allowed for many wireless audio transmission protocols. Some of these protocols interface with commercially available hearin...
