Perceived quality of acoustic transparency in a simulated hearing device: Measures and models

Kristin Ohlmann1, Florian Denk,2 Birger Kollmeier11Medical Physics, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany2German Institute of Hearing Aids, Lübeck, Germany Acoustic transparency – i.e., the ability of a hearing device to “just amplify without side effects” by providing an overall transfer function to the eardrum mimicking the open ear – is a desirable feature to increase the …

Comparison of an open-source hearing aid prototype with commercially available hearing aids

Lukas Jürgensen1,2, Hendrik Husstedt2, Florian Denk21Universität zu Lübeck, Lübeck, Germany2German Institute of Hearing Aids, Lübeck, Germany As medical devices, hearing aids compensate for a hearing loss but also include several interacting features such as directional microphones, noise reduction or feedback reduction. Detailed knowledge and access to these features would be beneficial for researchers. However, the …
