Loudness discomfort levels (LDLs) have been advocated as a means for selecting the SSPL90 setting of an individual's hearing aid. Kawell, Kopun, and Stelmachowicz (Ear Hear 1988; 9: 133-136) recently developed a procedure to measure LDLs in children. Several procedural cautions, involving the hearing aid stimulus delivery and sound field calibration, have been noted with this method. As a means of overcoming these problems, a new method utilizing insert earphone derived stimuli delivered to a child's ear-mold with probe tube microphone monitoring of real-ear sound pressure level was explored. Twenty children, aged 7 to 14 years, served as subjects. The advantage of the present method lies in the procedural conveniences and the ability to compare real-ear audiometric measures and hearing aid performance.
响度不适阈(LDLs)已被提倡作为选择个人助听器SSPL90设置的一种方法。卡韦尔、科普恩和斯特尔马乔维茨(《耳与听觉》1988年;9:133 - 136)最近开发了一种测量儿童响度不适阈的程序。用这种方法时,已注意到几个程序上的注意事项,涉及助听器刺激传递和声场校准。作为克服这些问题的一种方法,探索了一种新方法,该方法利用插入式耳机产生的刺激传递到儿童耳模,并通过探管传声器监测真耳声压级。20名年龄在7至14岁的儿童作为受试者。本方法的优点在于程序上的便利性以及比较真耳听力测量和助听器性能的能力。
