  • Abstract
    The need for hearing aids is growing and manufactures are coming up with new technologies (digital and DSP) to make these devices more attractive and effective. Users of those devices who were not always hearing impairments are divided into several groups: audio masters - ton masters, audio engineers, and young people exposed to excessive noise levels, older people, and persons with disabilities. The procedures of getting audiogram were analyzed, as well as the ways of setting (DSP) device characteristics related to individual patients. AB tests are carried out, and based on obtained results, distinctive processes or devices that can enable people with hearing loss well music listening were evaluated (mono, hi- fi stereo, surrounding sound).
