Hearing aid prescriptions for children
(Research Program C3.8)
Project Leader: Teresa Ching, Australian Hearing
Broad Objectives: To determine the amplification requirements of children with different degrees of hearing losses by evaluating whether NAL-NL1 or DSL[i/o] is better suited to prescribing non-linear hearing aids for children.
An application for research grant has been submitted to Oticon Foundation. The start date of the project depends on availability of funding.
Hypothesis:
a) That the prescription procedure used to prescribing non-linear hearing aids for children affects the listening outcomes;
b) That hearing aid experience has no effect on amplification requirements.
