METHOD FOR TESTING USING A HEARING AID |
| Abstract: |
Hearing loss is evaluated and compensated by applying a hearing aid having substantially uniform frequency response across several bands of the audible spectrum, evaluating hearing loss in each band using the hearing aid, programming the hearing aid to compensate for the loss in each.band, and using the hearing aid to compensate for hearing loss. The evaluation is preferably preceded by substantially canceling noise in the ear canal using the electronics in the hearing aid. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the evaluation is not performed if a hearing aid is not recognized by a hand held programmer but the user has the option of programming a hearing aid with existing data. The evaluation optionally includes providing background noise in the ear not being evaluated to reduce the chance of cross-coupling during the evaluation. |
