“…Protocols and minimum test batteries have been reported for adults 75 and children. 76 The goal of aided speech recognition assessment is to determine how a listener can understand speech with their hearing aids. Generally, aided speech recognition for children and adults should be completed at levels equivalent to average speech (60 or 65 dB SPL) using materials that are appropriate for the listener's age and auditory skills.…”

The primary goal of amplification is to restore audibility without causing discomfort; for someone with severe-to-profound hearing loss, the reduced dynamic range poses unique challenges in hearing-assistive device fitting. These challenges, including physiological limitation, processing difficulties, technology constraints, and other confounding factors, must be considered when selecting, fitting, and counseling for appropriate amplification. Many of the advanced features in hearing aids do not adequately address the unique characteristics of patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss. This review article will attempt to unravel some of the challenges and associated considerations when fitting adults and children with severe-to-profound hearing loss.

“…This study ultimately argued that establishing a pediatric version of the MSTB (2011) would prove increasingly beneficial in establishing consistency of care for individuals with CIs. Since that study was published, a minimum speech test battery for pediatric cochlear implant recipients has been proposed (Uhler et al, 2017).…”

“…It may also indicate the presence of a poorer performing ear and indicate the need for a revised plan for optimizing outcomes. For pediatrics, standardized assessments such as the Pediatric Minimum Speech Test Battery (PMSTB) 32 are recommended. For adults, the Minimum Speech Test Battery (MSTB) 33 is the standardized assessment recommended.…”

Binaural hearing offers numerous advantages over monaural hearing. While bilateral implants are a successful treatment option for some patients, many individuals choose to achieve binaural hearing by using a cochlear implant with a contralateral hearing aid. Compared with monaural hearing, benefits of bimodal hearing include improved speech perception in quiet and in noise, improved localization, and more natural sound quality. Despite the advantages, there exist disadvantages to bimodal hearing, primarily related to binaural integration. Management of these devices can be challenging in that the hearing aid and cochlear implant may be managed by different clinicians. When fitting devices, strategies are recommended to optimize the integration of input from both devices. In managing bimodal devices, recommended outcomes measures include those that would reflect bimodal benefit, such as speech understanding in noise and spatial sound quality perception.
