Programmable Telecoil Responses

Potential Advantages for Assistive Listening Device Fittings

Stephanie A. Davidson 1 and Colleen M. Noe 1

1 The Ohio State University, Columbus

Ten experienced hearing aid users were tested to evaluate an assistive listening device inductively coupled to three different hearing aids—their own BTE hearing aid and associated telecoil, a programmable hearing aid with the telecoil programmed using the manufacturer's algorithm, and the same programmable hearing aid with the telecoil programmed so that the real-ear gain obtained with the hearing aid-assistive listening device combination matched a prescriptive target. Results indicated that modifying the telecoil response to match a prescriptive target can result in enhanced speech understanding and higher preference rankings.

Key Words: assistive listening devices, programmable hearing aids, telecoil, hearing aids
