Abstract

A hearing aid having a plurality of frequency bands is calibrated by evaluating the response of the hearing aid in each band and programming the hearing aid to produce a specific sound pressure level in each band, thereby providing a calibrated instrument that can be used for both evaluation and compensation of hearing loss. The sound pressure levels are preferably the same for each band. The evaluation step is preferably performed at the center frequency of each band.
