Abstract
Hearing instrument fitting with infants and young children differs in several important ways relative to the fitting process with adults. In developing the Desired Sensation Level method, we have attempted to account for those factors that are uniquely associated with pediatric hearing instrument fitting. Within this article we describe how the external ear acoustics of infants and young children have been systematically accounted for in developing the Desired Sensation Level method. Specific evidence-based procedures that can be applied with infants and young children for the purposes of audiometric assessment, electroacoustic selection, and verification of hearing instrument performance are described.Entities:
