| ABSTRACT |
|
One of the common complaints from persons with hearing aids is occlusion effect (OE). OE is mainly caused by the enhancement of
low-frequency components of a sound and this problematic occlusion could be reduced through decreasing low-frequency gains or
modifying the size/length of the vent. Since vents are not always with uniform lengths or diameters, audiologists need to understand
various interrelated factors such as vent sizes and hearing aid gains based on patterns of hearing loss. This article reports the cases
where OE problems were managed through modified vents with simple self-questionnaires. |
