Objectives In the personalisation of hearing aid fittings, gain is often adjusted to suit patient preferences using live speech. When using brief sentences as stimuli, the minimum gain adjustments necessary to elicit consistent preferences (‘preference thresholds’) were previously found to be much greater than typical adjustments in current practice. The current study examined the role of duration on preference thresholds.

听语音时刺激持续时间对增益调整偏好的影响

目标在助听器配件的个性化过程中，增益通常会使用现场语音进行调整以适应患者的喜好。当使用简短的句子作为刺激时，先前发现引起一致偏好（“偏好阈值”）所需的最小增益调整比当前实践中的典型调整大得多。当前的研究检查了持续时间对偏好阈值的作用。
