Adaptive procedures for hearing aid prescription and other audiologic applications.
A class of adaptive procedures is described. These procedures are relatively easy to implement and have many useful properties for audiologic applications. Recent advances in programmable hearing aids enable these techniques to be used effectively in adaptive prescriptive fitting of a hearing aid. All of the procedures are based on the simple up-down technique that, in addition to its simplicity, is both efficient and reliable.
