A procedure for the specification of hearing aid response characteristics is described. Thresholds of discomfort and most comfortable levels for narrow bands of noise centered at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 kHz are determined. The thresholds of discomfort relate to the maximum power output of the hearing aid and the most comfortable levels determine the gain and frequency response that will be required. The data derived from these measurements are given to the hearing aid dispenser who provides a hearing aid that matches the prescribed response characteristics. This technique requires less time than the conventional hearing aid evaluation procedure, and it provides the audiologist with measures of auditory function that can be directly related to hearing aid parameters.
本文描述了一种确定助听器响应特性的程序。确定了以0.25、0.5、1、2、3和4千赫为中心的窄带噪声的不适阈值和最舒适响度级。不适阈值与助听器的最大功率输出有关，而最舒适响度级则决定所需的增益和频率响应。从这些测量中获得的数据提供给助听器验配师，由其提供符合规定响应特性的助听器。该技术比传统的助听器评估程序所需时间更少，并且为听力学家提供了可直接与助听器参数相关的听觉功能测量方法。
