摘要
Issues of importance in the assessment and use of hearing aid technology are discussed. The roles of the consumer and federal legislation are considered. Developing technology and its impact on hearing aid selection and evaluation procedures are highlighted. The role of electroacoustic measures for specification of the functional performance of new technology is suggested. Strategies for assessing hearing aid performance are suggested, along with the need to develop a consensus regarding speech perception measures for hearing aid evaluation.
