Effects of pre-existing hearing loss and gender on proposed ANSI S12.13 outcomes for characterizing hearing conservation program effectiveness: preliminary investigation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Evidence suggests that hearing-aid users have difficulties with own-voice level control, most likely because their auditory feedback is affected by hearing-aid amplification. PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to investigate how changes to auditory feedback affect the voice level of hearing-aid users. R...
