Abstract
This review highlights some of the recent important work reported in areas related to increasing the understanding and listening of hearing-impaired patients. In the section on hearing aids, a new circuit design involving multichannel nonlinear systems is discussed along with related work in digital signal processing. Studies that evaluate strategies and determine the efficacy of hearing aids are also reviewed. Publications that address important specifications of assistive listening devices, ie, listening and amplification, alerting, and decoding devices, are referred to in the next section. A brief review of tactile aids summarizes studies on training subjects to use tactile aids. Finally, recent work on cochlear implants is discussed with reference to signal processing, surgical considerations, performance in adults and children, and psychology and the deaf culture.
