A Comprehensive Evaluation Study of Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aid Design Proposals Using the AHP-TOPSIS Method
The subjectivity and one-sidedness issues present in the evaluation of behind-the-ear hearing aid design proposals have long been a focal point of researchers'attention.This study comprehensively employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)methods.Through literature research,user and expert questionnaires,a scientifically constructed evaluation criteria system for behind-the-ear hearing aids is established.In the comparative analysis of three behind-the-ear hearing aid design proposals,the AHP-TOPSIS method is used for a comprehensive assessment,ultimately determining the optimal design proposal.This provides valuable insights and design optimization ideas for the future redesign of over-the-counter hearing aids.
