Modern hearing aids use various signal-processing strategies to improve speech intelligibility. In this manuscript, we studied the linear frequency transposition (LFT), a frequency-lowering algorithm, in patients with age-related hearing loss. Frequency-lowering algorithms transpose high-frequency sounds to a lower-frequency band. The study aimed to assess whether LFT could be used as a tool to improve speech intelligibility in patients with a better high-frequency preservation.

Abstract
Modern hearing aids use various signal-processing strategies to improve speech intelligibility. In this manuscript, we studied the linear frequency transposition (LFT), a frequency-lowering algorithm, in patients with age-related hearing loss. Frequency-lowering algorithms transpose high-frequency sounds to a lower-frequency band. The study aimed to assess whether LFT could be used as a tool to improve speech intelligibility in patients with a better high-frequency preservation.File in questo prodotto:
