Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein, among other things, are apparatus and methods for a threshold-derived fitting rationale using frequency translation for hearing assistance devices. In various method embodiments, a first audiogram is received for a first hearing assistance device for a wearer, and a second audiogram is received for a second hearing assistance device for the wearer. The first audiogram and the second audiogram are compared to audiometric thresholds to determine if frequency translation should be enabled.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving a first audiogram for a first hearing assistance device for a wearer; receiving a second audiogram for a second hearing assistance device for the wearer; comparing the first audiogram and the second audiogram to audiometric thresholds; enabling frequency translation in the first and second hearing assistance devices if the first audiogram and the second audiogram meet or exceed the audiometric thresholds; disabling fre…
