Abstract
Some initial experiences are described in which ear canal probe tube microphone measurements are used to determine hearing aid settings for children. Decisions are based upon ideas developed by Seewald and Ross (in Amplification for the Hearing Impaired, New York: Grune and Stratton, 1988: 213-267) and Seewald, Ross, and Stelmachowicz (J Acad Rehab Aud 1987;20;25-37) in which the long term spectrum of speech is amplified to desired sensation levels. Case results from four children are used to demonstrate the application and usefulness of the procedure.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
