This graduate-level course offers detailed instruction on the selection, fitting, verification, and validation of hearing aids, with a focus on best practices and evidence-based clinical decision-making. The course covers candidacy assessment, selection of electroacoustic features, outcome measurement, and post-fitting support. Students will develop skills in applying prescriptive formulas, conducting real-ear verification, and customizing technology for individual patient needs. Additionally, the course examines modern signal processing techniques used in digital hearing aids, such as compression/expansion, directionality, noise reduction, feedback suppression, frequency lowering, and wireless connectivity. Each strategy will be reviewed from the perspective of theoretical principles, clinical application, advantages and limitations, and evaluation methods.
