Hearing-aid Pre-selection Through a Neural Network
Oddbjørn Arntsen, Hallvard Koren, TorbjØRn Strøm · Scandinavian Audiology · 1996
Selection of optimal hearing aids for a patient with a particular audiogram has become increasingly difficult as the number of available models on the market has grown considerably. In order to assist the hearing-aid fitter in this work, recent programming techniques using artificial neural networks have been investigated. Artificial neural networks are capable of recognizing audiograms and relating them to suitable hearing aids. A programme to assist in the early stage of hearing-aid selection was developed using these techniques.
