Abstract
An adaptive procedure was used to select the optimum setting on a wearable master hearing aid for discrimination of nonsense syllables. All subjects were experienced hearing-aid users with a variety of hearing impairments. Discrimination was measured at the estimated setting and with the subject's own aid. Additionally, functional gain using narrow bands of noise was determined with the wearable master hearing aid and the subject's own aid. An analysis was performed relating improvement in discrimination scores to the differences in the functional gain, and to additional factors of comfort level, dynamic range and long term speech spectrum.
