Equivalent Noise Dose Obtained through Hearing Aids in the Classrooms of Hearing-Impaired Children.

Wilde, Ronald A.

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v21 n3 p147-50 Jul 1990

A commercial noise dose meter was used to estimate the equivalent noise dose received through high-gain hearing aids worn in four classrooms in a school for deaf children. There were no significant differences among nominal saturation sound pressure level (SSPL) settings, and all SSPL settings produced very high equivalent noise doses. (Author/JDD)
