"Compression for Clinicians: Considerations for Hearing Aid
Fittings, Third Edition" explains many developments that have taken
place in the world of hearing aid compression, fitting methods, and
real ear measurement. Directional microphones and digital features
of noise reduction, feedback reduction, and expansion are also
covered. The text aims to make difficult concepts easier to
understand and to explain in plain language many topics pertaining
to compression. The third edition recognizes two distinct clinical
populations of sensori-neural hearing loss; mild-to-moderate on the
one hand, and more severe on the other. These two clinical
populations are well served by a corresponding pair of compression
types; wide dynamic range compression and output limiting
compression. Another double distinction held throughout the text is
the two-part task for all hearing aids; providing gain and also,
increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. Gain is addressed by
compression, while listening in noise is addressed by directional
microphones and digital noise reduction.New to the Third
Edition:*Includes new chapters on common clinical encounters
(Chapter 1), real ear measurement (Chapter 5), and adaptive dynamic
range optimization (Chapter 10)*Distinguishes between "sensory" and
"neural" hearing loss and devotes a separate chapter to each of
these types of sensori-neural hearing loss*Contains updated
coverage of digital hearing aids, directional microphones, and
digital noise reduction*Retains a strong focus on the historical
development of compression from yesterday's analog hearing aids to
digital hearing aids of today"Compression for Clinicians" is
intended for those studying to become hearing health care
professionals, including audiologists and hearing instrument
practitioners. It is also intended for practicing clinicians who
simply want to refresh their knowledge base concerning hearing loss
and hearing aids. Clinically relevant and very thorough, it
provides a relevant compass in the world of compression hearing
aids.
