✦ Synopsis

The effects of the consonant stressing function of the HD-10 digital hearing aid (abbr. HD-10) on speech discrimination scores were studied in 15 patients with moderate or severe sensorineural hearing loss and compared with analogue hearing aids. When the electroacoustic characteristics were set identical for both hearing aids, the speech discrimination scores for the HD-10 without the consonant stressing function were the same as those for the analogue hearing aids in 12 cases. However, the results for the HD-10 with the consonant stressing function were better than those for the analogue hearing aids in eight cases. With the consonant stressing function, the discrimination of Japanese consonants was significantly improved, in particular in voiceless consonant /s/, voiced consonant /b/, fricative consonants /g/ and /z/, bound consonant /r/ and semi-vowels /w/ and /y/.
