Hearing Aid Delay and Current Drain in Modern Digital Devices
Key considerations when hearing aid engineers design new features are processing time (delay) and battery consumption (current drain). There are not many studies that have investigated delay and current drain in modern digital hearing aids. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to provide benchmark and comparative data on these variables as acquired in the context of a yearly AuD student assignment.
A Counterpoint to the PCAST Recommendations
The author believes that OTC/DTC hearing aids have their place. However, for the majority of adults with mild-to-moderate age-related hearing losses, a guided process including fitting verification and auditory rehabilitation is needed to achieve maximum benefit with amplification. In this paper, the author gives a point-by-point argument against the PCAST’s recent conclusions and recommendations.
Predicting Musician’s Hearing Loss
Alberto Behar writes that there is nothing new regarding hearing loss from long duration exposure to loud noise. The question has always been on how loud is loud and how long a duration should be to be considered as “long.”
Development of the TTY – Part IV: The Final Chapter
In this installment of “Stories from Our Past,” Robert Traynor looks a the development of the TTY.
How Do We Incorporate Hearing Screening Into Primary Care?
Given a lack of government mandates for attention to declining hearing, Barbara Weinstein explains that the audiology community needs to raise physicians’ awareness of what happens when it is ignored.
Don’t Make Us Beg
Gael Hannan points out that consumer advocates want to work with the hearing health industry to bring about change but Canadians with hearing loss are waiting. Please, don’t make them beg.
Striking the Right Balance
Lisa Koch, AuD, discusses what she feels is the general scope of practice audiologists should consider when including vestibular rehabilitation in their practice.
Other People’s Ideas
What impact will PSAP/hearable devices have on the practice of audiology? Through some timely blogs from our friends at HearingHealthMatters.org Calvin Staples is hoping to start a conversation among the readers of Canadian Audiologist as to what will come of the recent PCAST report.
PCAST, PSAPs, and Likely Possibilities
Originally posted by HHTM on May 24, 2016 On May 12th, Brian Taylor placed a post on this website about Samsung and Apple perhaps influencing the hearing aid field. By now, everyone can probably discuss disruptive innovation. If you don’t know about this concept and its application to the “P-stuff” in the title, you have probably been off the grid…
