The Prescriptive Hearing Aid Fitting Formula Landscape

---

1.  What is the goal of prescriptive hearing aid fitting formulas? Minimize rejection, maximize speech intelligibility, and maximize patient satisfaction Minimize hearing aid use Minimize speech intelligibility Minimize patient satisfaction

2.  What are the two primary theoretical rationales behind prescriptive fitting rationales? Loudness equalization and normalization Feature enhancement and optimization Output reduction and comfort Channel enhancement and transparency

3.  Which of the following is a linear hearing aid fitting formula? DSL v5 FIG6 NAL-NL2 NAL-R

4.  What is one of the primary benefits of proprietary hearing aid fitting rationales? They do not consider recruitment in target calculations They consider user control options and physical dexterity They consider unique signal processing charateristics They do not adapt over time with technology advances

5.  What is important for hearing aid response optimization regardless of the fitting formula selected? Verification and validation measures User controls and indicators Aural habilitation and rehabilitation Mobile app use and sound therapy
