Evaluation of a cognitive test battery in young and elderly normal-hearing and hearing-impaired persons.

abstract：:The literature suggests that directional microphone hearing aids (DMHAs) are a viable means for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for hearing-impaired listeners. The amount of directional advantage they provide, however, remains relatively unclear because of variability observed among individual studies. The p...
