Title:  Evaluating the Efficacy of Music Programs in Hearing Aids

Abstract:  Hearing aid processing of music is much less thoroughly researched than hearing aid processing of speech.  This presentation will report on a study using normal-hearing listeners that evaluated the efficacy of programs specifically designed for music listening in state-of-the-art hearing aids.  In addition, an analysis of signal processing and acoustic features relating to the results will be presented.

Following this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1) Describe how hearing aids may negatively impact music perception.

2) Describe key features of real or hypothetical music programs for hearing aids.

3) Describe the efficacy of current music programs in hearing aids
