what a hearing aid might sound like. Perhaps let him or her listen to the signal with their natural
hearing as it is (without manipulating the sound). Explain that they are now listening to the CD, wave
file or live voice with their own natural hearing. In a minute, though, the sound will be changed trying to
give them an impression of what it could sound like if they acquired hearing aids. Note that it may, be
necessary to point out that a hearing aid will sound even better than what they are about to hear which
is an approximation. A hearing aid will be fitted more accurately based on the individual hearing loss.
The MHA is meant to give them an idea as to how the amplification can provide them much more
audibility and thereby improve their quality of life significantly.
6) The selected MHA filter can be visualized in the graph. Toggle between the filters and see the effect.
7) During the simulation it is possible to adjust the volume of the signal using the dB HL
Decrease/Increase channel 1/channel 2 buttons.
