Observations on the relations among occlusion effect, compliance, and vent size.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous research has shown that hearing aid wearers can successfully self-train their instruments' gain-frequency response and compression parameters in everyday situations. Combining hearing aids with a smartphone introduces additional computing power, memory, and a graphical user interface that may enable...
