Abstract
The presence on the market of acoustic amplifiers (defined as Personal Sound Amplifier Products - PSAPs and usually similar aesthetically to hearing aids) unaccompanied by adequate information, can attract the attention of people with hearing problems, creating confusion in the sector and doubts about their actual technical performance. The aim of our investigation was to carry out suitable measurements regarding the electroacoustic characteristics of several typical models of these devices, usually not supplied with the PSAPs. The work includes some considerations on possible problems as a resulting from their use by people with hearing loss.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
