Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021061632A1] A hearing aid (10) and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the hearing includes a body (32, 34) that at least partially conforms to the contours of an external ear and is sized to engage therewith. Various electronic components are contained within the body (32, 34), including an electronic signal processor (130) that is programmed with a respective left ear qualified sound range and a right ear qualified sound range. Each of the left ear qualified sound range and the right ear qualified sound range may be a range of sound corresponding to a preferred hearing range of an ear of the patient modified with a subjective assessment of sound quality according to the patient. Sound received at the hearing aid (10) is converted to the qualified sound range prior to output.
