Abstract

Hearing aid verification measures on direct to consumer (D2C) devices can provide an efficient way to optimize fittings for hearing-impaired individuals. This poster will focus on key differences between self-fit and Hearing HealthCare Provider-fit settings for D2C devices. Measures will include ANSIS.3.22/ ANSI CTA 2051, Noise reduction and Directional microphone performance in test box. Real-ear measures of match to prescriptive formulas, and SII/RMS arror to target for DTC vs traditional hearing aids will be evaluated.
