How Neuroscience Relates to Hearing Aid Amplification

Figure 3

Two examples showing grand mean CAEPs recorded with similar mean output signal levels. Panels: (a) 40 dB input signals and (b) 60 dB input signals show unaided and aided grand mean waveforms evoked with corresponding in-the-canal acoustic measures. Despite similar input and output signal levels, unaided and aided brain responses are quite different. Aided responses are smaller than unaided responses, perhaps because the SNRs are poorer in the aided condition.
