In Brief The recent resurgence of interest in employing frequency lowering to fit hearing aids on people with severe high-frequency hearing loss has raised issues about possible side effects related to this method. This article reports on the findings of research looking at how frequency compression affects localization, speech recognition in noise, and user satisfaction with hearing aids.
