Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Modern hearing aids are today most often controlled by dig ital data processors and signal processors.“However, typically programming and adjusting of parameters of the hearing aid r equires a user tomake an appointment with a hearing professional (typically an audiologist) and to come into an office thathas the necessary equipment. This i mposes the inconvenience, expense and time consumption associatedwith travel to a remote location, which is particularly problematic for users with limited mob ility, userswho live in remote areas, and/or users who live in developing count ries where a hearing professional maynot be available.
