Special hearing aid considerations in elderly patients with auditory processing disorders.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Normalizing perceived loudness is an important rationale for gain adjustments in hearing aids. It has been demonstrated that gains required for restoring normal loudness perception for monaural narrowband signals can lead to higher-than-normal loudness in listeners with hearing loss, particularly for binaura...
