Paired comparison perception and preference judgments of hearing aid processed music were examined under conditions of extended and reduced high and low-frequency ranges. The performance of 20 subjects with mild to moderate hearing impairment was compared with an equal number of normal hearing controls. Subjects with normal hearing indicated perception of and preference for extended ranges for both high and low frequencies. However the perception and preference judgments of hearing-impaired subjects were essentially random for the high-frequency ranges; but accurate perception and preference was found for extended low-frequency adjustments. Implications for hearing aid design and use are discussed.
在高频和低频范围扩展和缩减的条件下，对助听器处理的音乐进行了配对比较感知和偏好判断。将20名轻度至中度听力受损的受试者的表现与同等数量的听力正常的对照组进行了比较。听力正常的受试者表示对高频和低频的扩展范围都有感知和偏好。然而，听力受损受试者对高频范围的感知和偏好判断基本上是随机的；但在低频扩展调整方面发现了准确的感知和偏好。讨论了对助听器设计和使用的影响。
