Abstract
The task of selecting the electroacoustic characteristics of hearing aids for young hearing-impaired children continues to challenge many clinical audiologists. The rationale for a theoretically based approach to this problem is presented. Additionally, issues related to the choice of an idealized speech spectrum for a theoretical selection model are considered in relation to the acoustic environment and auditory needs of young hearing-impaired children. Finally, the preliminary version of a computer assisted speech spectrum approach, which facilitates the initial selection of frequency/gain and frequency/SSPL characteristics is presented.
