Testing Listening Effort for Speech Comprehension Using the Individuals’ Cognitive Spare Capacity

Most hearing aid fittings today are almost solely based on the patient’s audiogram. Although the loss of gain in the cochlea is important, for a more optimal fitting, more individual parameters of ...
