Linear and nonlinear hearing aid fittings--1. Patterns of benefit.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Recently, the digit triplet test was shown to be a sensitive speech-in-noise test for early high-frequency hearing loss in noise-exposed workers. This study investigates if a further improvement is achieved when using a closed set of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) speech items with the same vowel, and/or a l...
