Selecting Hearing Aid Gain and Frequency Response Characteristics Based on a Comparison of Loudness Judgments and POGO

“…A review of the literature indicates that, for judgments of loudness, pure tones tend to be judged at the highest intensity level, followed by narrow band noise, speech, and finally broad band noise. 2,18,[21][22][23] These findings are considered to be consistent with a critical bandwidth hypothesis and the effects of loudness summation due to stimulus bandwidth difference. 21 Research has shown that the perception of loudness increases as the stimulus bandwidth increases, provided the critical bandwidth is exceeded.…”

Health hazard evaluation report: HETA #2002-0284-2908, Capitol Heat & Power, Madison, Wisconsin.

“…17 The use of hearing protection devices is subject to many problems, such as discomfort, incorrect use with other safety equipment, dislodging, deterioration, and abuse. 18 They also perform differently in workplace settings as compared to the laboratories where the NRRs are determined. 19,20 NIOSH acknowledged this problem in its original criteria document on occupational noise exposure.…”
