[Measurement of output sound pressure in a real ear to raise efficacy of electroacoustic hearing correction].
Fifty adult patients with neurosensory hypoacusis of different severity participated in the study of feasibility of using analytic computer systems in selection of optimal regimes of acoustic aid function with use of pressure measurement in the real ear. The results have shown that measurement of the frequency response in the camera of 2 sm(3) in volume is unable to predict the function of the acoustic aid in each individual case. Most of the acoustic aid users need correction of the program adjustment. The efficacy of electroacoustic correction should be evaluated on the basis of measurements of output sound pressure in a real ear as most reliable and significant. The results of the study are useful in conduction of hearing prosthetic correction.
