Simulated real-ear measurements of benefit from digital feedback suppression
(2008) In International Journal of Audiology 47(2). p.51-58- Abstract
- Digital feedback suppression (DFS) enables users of hearing instruments (HI) to benefit from amplification levels that normally would provoke whistling or poor sound quality. A standardized test for the measurement of DFS benefit is not available. This paper proposes and evaluates an objective method for assessment of extra feedback-free amplification (headroom) provided by a given DFS. It is shown that the whistle-free loop gain can be calculated from data obtained with simulated real-car measurements with the modified pressure method. Test-retest trials were carried out to assess the reliability of the proposed method. Also, a method was developed for defining an appropriate gain level at which the proposed measurement should be carried... (More)
