Abstract:Various forms of signal processing are used in modern ASP hearing aids. The present study investigated the relationship between sentence recognition ability and two types of signal processing used in commercially available hearing aids. Results indicated a significant improvement in sentence recognition ability employing an instrument with adaptive compression (variable release time) versus an instrument with an adaptive high-pass filter with short attack and release times. Data were obtained for a single-talker competing message at several message-to-competition ratios. The adaptive compression system may prove to be beneficial to hearing-impaired listeners in certain background noise environments.
