Evaluation of the efficacy of a multimemory hearing aid.

abstract：:We describe the rationale for the development of a psychophysical procedure that allows individual listeners to adjust the frequency-gain characteristic of a programmable hearing aid on a unidimensional scale, based on a target-gain reference value. The listener's task is to adjust the frequency response and select th...
