Assessment of Novel Sound Changing Principles in Hearing Instruments to Determine Their Application - 2019_33

Each participant will be fitted with the 2 different Sound Changing principles on the same hearing aid, saved to 2 manual programs (ensures exact same hearing loss compensation for each intervention). Reverberation Canceller principle is a sound processing algorithm to remove reverberation from a speech signal to improve the speech intelligibility and comfort. The active comparator condition is without Reverberation Canceller principle enabled.

Each participant will be fitted with the 2 different Sound Changing principles on the same hearing aid, saved to 2 manual programs (ensures exact same hearing loss compensation for each intervention). Reverberation Canceller principle is a sound processing algorithm to remove reverberation from a speech signal to improve the speech intelligibility and comfort. The experimental condition applies the Reverberation Canceller and is predicted to provide a benefit in reverberant room simulations.
