abstract：:The cross-check principle was proposed by Jerger and Hayes over 20 years ago. Actually, the cross-check principle consists of a concept and a specific test protocol. The concept, that one test result confirms another test result, is still in use. Their specific protocol is essentially forgotten. The cross-check protoc...

Signal processing algorithms that shift high-frequency sounds to lower frequencies have been introduced in hearing aids to address this challenge by improving audibility of high-frequency sounds.
