Editor's Notes
- Understanding Digital Frequency Compression
- This brings us to the question, Who is a candidate for frequency compression? Clients with thresholds 65-70dB or poorer at 2KHz and above are candidates. Once you see greater than 35dB per octave slope, cochlear dead regions must be suspected. The research is pretty conclusive on this. Inability to detect and/or recognize /s/, /sh/. Clients whose speech recognition scores are poorer than one would be expected based on puretone thresholds. Poor tonal perception. Hearing loss as a result of ototoxicity i.e. chemo patients.
