摘要
背景与目的:背景噪声作为一种严重的挑战,主要影响听力损失人群的语言感知。数字降噪(DNR)技术是控制噪声的一种方法。本研究旨在探讨DNR程序(激活和停用)对基本和高级耳后助听器(BTE)频率增益的影响,采用不同的DNR策略来降低背景噪声。方法:使用两种耳后助听器Opn1 S105和GetP。首先使用Affinity 2.0测试箱,使用国家声学实验室-非线性(NAL-NL2)和期望感觉级多级[输入/输出](DSLm[I/O])公式,在45、65和85 dB SPL的声压级下,使用国际语音测试信号和宽带噪声,测量三种听力损失(HL)模式的DNR(关/开)增益。频率范围为250-8000 Hz。结果:Opn1 S105和GetP模型在45和65 dB SPL和大多数频率下对所有三种HL模式的DNR性能都有显著差异。结论:高级助听器和基础助听器在45和65 dB声压级及大多数频率的不同声压级下的DNR性能不同。在大多数频率下使用DSLm[I/O]公式,高级助听器的性能是显著的。关键词:数字降噪;国际语音测试信号;频率响应;宽带噪声
Comparing the Effect of Digital Noise Reduction Technique on Frequency Gain of Behind-the-Ear Digital Hearing Aids
Background and Aim: Background noise as a serious challenge mainly affects the speech perception in people with hearing loss. One of the methods used to control noise is digital noise reduction (DNR) technique. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of DNR program (activated and deactivated) on the frequency gain of basic and advanced behind-the-ear (BTE) Oticon hearing aids, using different DNR strategies to reduce background noise.
Methods: Two behind-the-ear Oticon hearing aids (Opn1 S105 and GetP) were used in this study. The Affinity 2.0 test box was first used to measure their DNR (off/on) gains using the national acoustic laboratories-non linear2 (NAL-NL2) and desired sensation level multi-stage [input/output] (DSLm[I/O]) formulas at sound pressure levels of 45, 65 and 85 dB SPL at a frequency range of 250-8000 Hz for three hearing loss (HL) patterns using the international speech test signal and broad band noise.
Results: There was a significant difference in DNR performance between the Opn1 S105 and GetP models for all three HL patterns at 45 and 65 dB SPL and most frequencies.
Conclusion: The DNR performance of advanced and basic hearing aids is different for different HLs at 45 and 65 dB SPL and most frequencies. The performance of advanced hearing aids is significant using the DSLm[I/O] formula at most frequencies.
