Abstract
A significant number of persons with hearing loss have serious problem manispulating the conventional volume control wheels on present instruments because of stroke or arthritis. Three experimental hearing aids were built to the author's specifications by the Danavox Corporation, using a 3-position power switch in place of a volume control wheel. Several subjects using the experimental aid experienced significant success using the lever-as opposed to a conventional volume control wheel and it is recommended that all hearing aid manufacturers make available the new experimental type of volume control. Et betydeligt antal tunghøre – specielt patienter med lidelser eller følger efter hjerneblødning – har alvorlige problemer med at betjene høreapparaternes volumenkontrolhjul. På forfatterens foranledning har Danavox fremstillet et forsøgsapparat forsynet med en 3-stillings kontaktarm til styrkeregulering i stedet for det sœdvanlige hjul. Denne form for volumenkontrol har i flere tilfœlde vist sig at vœre en eklalant succes, og det anbefales at andre høreapparatfabrikanter tager ideen op.
