Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine whether hearing aids with binaural processing improve performance during a localization and a hearing in noise task. The study included 15 participants between the ages of 29 and 68 who had a bilateral symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss and who had no prior hearing aid experience. Participants were fitted with Oticon Epoq XW receiver-in-the-ear hearing aids bilaterally. The participants completed a horizontal localization task and a hearing in noise task with three listening conditions: (1) without hearing aids (NO), (2) with hearing aids that were not linked (BIL), and (3) with hearing aids that were linked (BIN). For the horizontal localization task, 1.5-s pink noise bursts were used as the stimulus. Sentences from the Hearing in Noise Test were used as target stimuli for the hearing in noise task. Continuous discourse by one male and two female talkers was recorded and used as maskers. The specific aim of the localization and hearing in noise tasks was to determine which of the listening conditions resulted in the best score for each task. Data are still being collected and data analysis will follow. |
