J Am Acad Audiol 17:398-412. 2006..These findings are discussed in terms of results reported in the past and counseling patients on the potential advantages of directional microphones as the listening situation and type of noise changes...
Effect of multichannel digital signal processing on loudness comfort, sentence recognition, and sound qualityKaren M Mispagel
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Division of Adult Audiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Missouri 63110, USA
J Am Acad Audiol 17:681-707. 2006..Additionally, no subjective differences in sound quality of subjects' own voice were determined by the Listening Tasks Questionnaire...
Difference between the default telecoil (t-coil) and programmed microphone frequency response in behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aidsDaniel B Putterman
Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences, Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, USA
J Am Acad Audiol 23:366-78. 2012..If the clinical goal were to match both frequency responses, it would be useful to know the relative differences, if any, that currently exist between these two transducers...
Challenges in fitting a hearing aid to a severely collapsed ear canal and mixed hearing lossKristi Oeding
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Washington University, St Louis, MO, USA
J Am Acad Audiol 23:276-82. 2012..However, when a collapsed ear canal occurs without external pressure, this creates a challenge not only for performing audiometric testing but also for coupling a hearing aid to the ear canal...
Effectiveness of the directional microphone in the Baha® Divino™Kristi Oeding
Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences, Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, USA
J Am Acad Audiol 21:546-57. 2010..Studies examining the DM in bone anchored auditory osseointegrated implants (Baha), however, have been mixed, with little to no benefit reported for the DM compared to an OM...
Speech perception in noise: directional microphones versus frequency modulation (FM) systemsM Samantha Lewis
University of Florida, USA
J Am Acad Audiol 15:426-39. 2004..Directional microphone performance was significantly better than omnidirectional microphone performance. All aided listening conditions were significantly better than the unaided listening condition...
