1
The Veterans Administration's program for measuring and evaluating the

performance characteristics of hearing aids was developed as a means of

selecting a manageable group of instruments from among the wide variety

of models available on the consumer market.

Each vear, all interested manufacturers (of record) or their agents

are sent a copy of the bid format and invited to participate in our program. For the 1975 Contract Year, 20 manufacturers participated

by offering samples. To ensure that the total number of samples

would be compatible with laboratory facilities, each manufacturer

was limited to the submission of a total of seven models. In addition,

a limited number of special models were authorized for submission

or were solicited separately. It is a requirement that the models

submitted be selected from among those that are currently available

as standard items in the manufacturer's production line. VA representatives made a random selection of three sample aids of each

model entered in the program from the participating manufacturers*

stock. These aids are tested for VA by the Sound Section of the

Institute of Basic Standards at the National Bureau of Standards,

and the Biocommunicat ions Laboratjory, University of Maryland, which

subject the aids to a number of specific predetermined acoustic and

electronic measurements. Except for those evaluated for meeting a special clinical need, aids are placed in one or more of four power

categories: mild, moderate, strong, or extra strong. Aids with

special characteristics were evaluated with others having those

same characteristics. A total of 123 models were received for this

year's program. The voluminous raw test data is turned over to VA's

Auditory Research Laboratory for evaluation and conversion into a performance score or "Index of Characteristics". The Index of

Characteristics is derived by applying to the test results weighting

factors which have been reviewed and approved by a VA advisory group

of consulting audiologists and physicists. Selection of hearing

aids for contract is made from among those qualified hearing aid models

whi ch

:

(a) have Index of Characteristics scores which are markedly better

than the other hearing aids in their category, or

(b) may be deemed clinically necessary to provide adequate hearing

rehabilitation for deafened veterans without reference to their measure- ment results or cost per point of quality, or

(c) have the lowest cost per point of quality as obtained by dividing

the determined cost to the VA by the Index of Characteristics score.

In order to present data which are meaningful and to reduce confusion, we have indicated in Section II those hearing aids which scored in the

top 25% of their respective categories or which received a VA contract

2
because they possess particular characteristics needed for special ' clinical problems, These aids are labeled with an asterisk. This is

not to say that the remaining instruments are not of value. It simply- means that they did not score as well on our tests and that we must

limit the number of aids on contract because of administrative problems

in stocking and handling large quantities of instruments.

The selected hearing aids are purchased in quantity lots directly from

the manufacturer and stocked in the VA Supply Depot, Hines , Illinois.

The instruments are then distributed to the various VA and contract

audiology clinics in accordance with predetermined stock level

requirements

.

Each hard-of-hearing veteran reporting to these clinics has an otological

examination, audiological examination, and receives a trial with 3-5

of these contract models which are knoxm to possess characteristics

which might compensate for his hearing deficiency. Once it is

determined that a particular hearing aid is most suitable for a veteran's

hearing defect, he is issued that specific instrument.

When a veteran is issued a hearing aid, he is normally entitled to be

furnished hearing aid repair services and sufficient batteries to

operate the instrument, Eligible veterans are provided spare hearing

aids to utilize when their regular hearing aid is sent in for repairs,

so that they will not be deprived of aided hearing. Ordinarily, the

veteran who receives an initial hearing aid may return after six months

for a second instrument, The first one issued then becomes his spare

aid. Studies have shown that the majority of veterans retain their

hearing aids an average of eight years before requesting a replacement.

Veterans are furnished replacement hearing aids at such times as they are required

.

Individuals with hearing problems should take into account the following

factors

:

1. There is no "best" hearing aid for all individuals. Aids that

perform well for one person may not perform well for someone else. Our

general advice to a person with a hearing disability is to seek

professional guidance in obtaining the aid best suited to his particular

problem,

2. VA does not test all hearing aids - only those submitted by

manufacturers who want to participate in the VA program. Of the more

than 500 hearing aid models available in the United States, VA tests

each year approximately 20%. The information contained in this

document should not be used as an absolute buying guide and persons not

3
finding the aid they now wear listed among those VA buys should not

automatically conclude the device they have is inferior.

3. Information contained in this document applies for Contract Year

19 75 only. New and improved hearing aids are developed each year and

as a result the information provided by VA varies from year to year.

4. Primarily, VA provides hearing aids only to veterans whose hearing

disability is the result of military service. For further information

these veterans should contact their nearest VA office or hospital.

Other veterans and all non-veterans seeking added information are advised to consult specialists in their local communities.

SUBJ: Hearing Aid Testing Program

1. The program of measurement of the acoustic performance of

hearing aids carried out for Fiscal Year 1975 by the National

Bureau of Standards for the Veterans Administration has been

completed. One hundred twenty models were submitted by hearing

aid manufacturers for consideration under this program.

2. Tabulation, treatment, and statistical analyses of the

data were performed by Dr. Earleen Elkins of the Auditory

Research Laboratory. Dr. G. Donald Causey, Chief, Central

Audiology and Speech Pathology Program, served as project

monitor

.

3. The models evaluated are listed below by manufacturer and

accompanied by the type of aid, its average gain and saturation

sound pressure level (in dB) , and the rank it obtained in the

category of aids against which it was compared. For hearing

aids with standard acoustic characteristics, categorization

was made by overall power: Mild, Moderate (Moder.), Strong,

and Extra (Ex.) Strong. The remaining aids were categorized

by unique characteristics identified as Compression (Comp.),

Directional Microphone (Dir.), CROS or BICROS, and maximum

amplification above 1000 Hz (Hi-Pass). Models evaluated for

special (Spec.) acoustic characteristics are also noted. The

small number of in-the-ear, CROS, and BICROS aids precluded a ranking of these categories.

ALL THREE INSTRUMENTS OF THIS MODEL WERE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE

BECAUSE OF A DISCONTINUITY IN THE VOLUME CONTROL AT THE TOP

END. ROTATING THE CONTROL DOWN SLIGHTLY CAUSES A DECREASE IN

GAIN OF 10 DB FOR VI-235 AND VI-236 AND 7 DB FOR VI-237.

INTERMEDIATE GAINS COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED.

HEARING ATP I-tE>v^RD:^:rrS TO BE MADE BY TTIE ::ATI0MAL FXJREA'J OF STAMD/^S FOR

Definition of Random-Xoi.se Signal

T}ie random noise signal used in this prxDcedure is one vjhich has an essentailly constant energy per unit bandwidth from 200 Hz to 900 Uz.

The higher frequency part of the signal is rolled off v;ith a single RC

time constamt of 17.7 microseconds, which places the 3 db da.m point at

900 Hz. B.2I0W 200 Hz the signal level is rolled off at a rate of 12

db/oct. From 200 Hz to 5000 Hz, the acoustical pressure developed is

held to this defined curve within 2 1/2 db.

1. Saturation Sound Pressure Level

V^ith the volume control turned full on, the remdom noise signal is

applied ajid the input level is increased until no fui'^thor increase in the

output of tlie hearing aid is noted. The ijiput and output levels ar-o noted.

2. Gain

With the random-noise input signal at a level of 60 db, the volume

control setting of the hearing aid is reduced until i.ts output is 12 db

below saturation. If the hearing aid does not have sufficient gain to

reach this level V7ith a 60 db input, the maximum gain setting is used.

The gain for a pure-tone of 1 kHz at an input level of 60 db is noted.

3. Response versus Frequency

With the volume control set as in section 2 above , and a sound input

level of 60 db plus or minus 1.5 db, an automatic recoxxling will be

made of the gain vet^sus frequency aiTve for pure tones from 200 to 500

PIz, in order to measuf^e gain and frequency response. Recordings will be

made over t)ie range of 100 to 7000 Kz if the response of the aid extends

beyond the narrc^/er limits.

M. Batter'y Drain

With the volume control set as in No. 2 above, the battery drain will

be determined with (a) a random noise signal at a sound input level of -65 db and (b) no sound input.

5. Harmonic Distortion vdth Volume Control Set as for Response CXirve

The hannonic distortion v;ill be measured V7ith sinusoidal input signals

and with the gain set as in '.'o. 2 above. The input signal level will be the

sajne as the ijiput level of a random noise signal v.'hich causes the output to

be 12 db below saturation, ^formally, this v.'ill be an input level of 60 db.

Ho/.'ever, for those aids whose output is not as lii.gli as 12db below saturation

with the maximum gain setting, the random noise input level v/ill be increased

Page 1 of 2 Pages

448
. EXHIBIT "G". (CONT'D)

until this output level is reached, llie sinusoidal input is then set to

that input level. Harmonic distortion measurements will be made at frequencies of 500, 700, and 900 Hz, and at that frequency above 500 Hz where

iraximum distortion occurs.

Next, the harmonic distortion will be measured with an input 10 db

higher than the level used above. Normally, this ^•Till be with an input

level of 70 db, except as noted above. Fixsquencies will be as above, with

the frequency of maximum distortion determined separately for each level.

6. Signal-to-Noise Patio

With the voluTie control as in No. 2 above and an input level of 65 db,

the sound pressure output of the hearing aid for a 1000 Hz signal v.'ill be

noted. Next, in the ^^bsence of a signal, the output sound pressure level

due to electrical self-noise v/ill be noted. The signal-to-noise ratio will

be calculated.

7. Signal.-to-Hjrn Ratio . .

With the volume control as in No. 2 above, the RMS output sound

pressure level due to magnetic field pick-up in the most sensitive

direction will be noted at various levels of magnetic field strength.

The magnetic field v;ill be composed of a mixture of 60, 180, and 300

Hz in the relative proportions of 100, 2S and 10, respectively. Tlie sound output and field strength v.'il], be noted for which it is determined that the hearing aid is operating in a linear region. Tnis

sound pressure out-put vjill be extrapolated back to a field of the

composition noted above, in v/nich the strength of the 60 Hz components

would be 1 milligauss. A signal-to-hum ratio will be calculated, using

the signal of No. 6, above. This test will only l)e poi-'for,-r.ed on instrruments which have significant hu'n pick-up as determined by prelimijiary

screening

Outline of Procedure for Statistical Analysis of Data

The p>erfomance of each of the three insturments representing a model

will be considered separately in the analysis of data. Tlie distribution

of raw scores for each of the subtests is converted to a conrrion scale

with a specified mean and stajidaixl deviation. A conversion is necessary

since the scores from the various subtests represent different rricasure- ment scales, ranges, and distributions. Hie converted scores can then

be lT?eated by routine arithjr.etic manipulation. The conversion frcm raw

score to derived score is accomplished by using the following formula

(Guilford, 1965):

XI = (SD1/SD2) (X2) - (SD1/SD2) (M2) - tCL

VJhere XI = unkno'.vn score on the standard scale corresponding to X2

X2 = a rc-iv; score m = mean 'of XI (alv.-ays 20.0)

1-.2 = mean of X2

SDl = standard deviation of the standard score (alv7ays 10.0)

SD2 - standaixJ deviation of rav; scores

Each scaled score is then \-7eighted by multiplying it by a factor V7hich represents the value of the t)-:at subtest to the tota]/.ni2asur£yaeiit . Pv^S^^""

In order that subtests to be viewed in such manner tiiat the higher' the

score the better the performance, it is necessary to reverse standardized

scores for some subtests. The scores which are reversed are those for

uniformity of slope, product uniformity, and all distortion scores. Reversal is effected by subtracting th.e standard] score frcm 40. In these

instances, v.-siehting is acccmplished after the dist"ribution of rav; scores

lias been sttndarviized fuid reversed. The raw test data obtiiined by the

National Bureau of Standai'xjs v;ill be analyzed using the v;eights appearing belov;:

With the exception of Index of Effectiveness , Uniformity of Slope and Product

Unifomity, a description of the subtests nay be found in the ATicrican Standard

Methods for I-!casurejnent of ElGctroacoustic Clvai-^acteristics of Hearing Aids

iMSl S 3.3-1950, Lybargcr, 1961 b and c) or the hearing Aid Indust-ry Conference

(EAIC) procedures (Lybarger, 1961a). The Index of Effectiveness is based upon

the instrument's gain, its frequency response, the severity of the hearing

ojnpaiiincnt it sliould co'onteract, and selected dvna:nic characteristics of soeech.

The concept of the index of Effectiveness was developed by Carj~iart and wi].l be

the subject of a published paper. Copies of a paper explaining the principles

of Index of Effectiveness are available fran the Qiief , CenlTr'al Audiology and

Speecli Pathology ft'ogr.^a'n, VA Itospital, VJashington, D. C.

The Uniformity of Slope subtest v;as devised to detennine- ha.-i well the hearing

aids meet the requested gain-frequency cur^'e of 6 db per octave rise. Tl-ie key

points at which measurements are made are tiie 20 midiX)ints of bands research has

shov.Ti to be equal in contribution to full intelligibilty of speech (ICr^irer, 1950

1962). Using a 6 db per octave floating base line, gain values for the 20 band

midpoints are ranked frcm highest to Ic^.'est, and the median of the ranking

obtained. A line 5 db dov.n from the median value is drav.Ti utili::ing a slope of

6 db per octave. Only 'LhoGe Icey points .^Ixive tliis line are employed in the

computation. Ti^.e differences betw.en any key [X)ints occurring alxive this lijie

and the median values are s'jrnried without regard to sign. Tlic mean of t]>e

differences constitutes the instrument's raw score. Ihis computation is made

for evea?y ijistru'ivent in each power category. Tlie raw scores are then converted

to a derived scale, reversed and vjightcd.

Tlie Product Uniformity subtest v;as designed to provide a measure of the

performance similarity among the three samples of each model. Average gaiji and

average saturation SPL are included in the subtest by converting these values to

derived scales ajid giving each a weight of 0.6. The range bet;-7een the highest

v;eighted score and lowest v.'eighted score for each subtest, including gain c'und SSPL is sunmed and beco;r.e3 tlse Px^oduet UniJorTnity raw score value for each miodei

The distribution of rav; scor^es is then converted to the derived scale, reversed,

and' weighted. For this subtest there is only one score for each model. The

Index of Characteristics for each nK/del is the s'jm of the mean weighted scores

frK>m the follo'.-;ing subtests: HaiTPoni-c distortion, Sig]"lal-to-^.'oise Ratio, Index

of Effectiveness, Uni.formity of Slope, and the v;eighted score for Product

Unifomity. Hearing aids v/ill be ranic ordered by the Index of Cnaractcristics

.

Tlie scoring systen has Ijeen so designed that tlie mean of the distribution for

each power category is 100.

Hearing aid models having Indices of Characteristics above 100 are considered

acceptable to the Veterans AdjnLiistration. It is recognized that certain types

of hearing aids, such as in~tlie-ear models or models with r^estricted frequency

range, v;i],l not score v;ell on these tests in co-iparison v^ith other instTuments

.

Tlierefoi^B , in order to accomplish a more realistic appraisal of their- relative

pverfomance, modification of the procedures described above may be necessary.

Tlie results of the VA Hearting Aid Test Program, must be viev;ed in relation to the

needs of the liearing- impaired populati"'n to be served and the specific m.ethods o: measurement. Any questions should be refenx:d to Di^. G. Donald Causev, Chief,

SUGGESTIONS FOR COMPLETING PRICING SCHEDULES.-

j Schedules are for use In pricing models you wish to submit for consideration

for the different types and should be returned with your bid forms.

On first line, insert nake and model number.

For on-the-body or eyeglass types, if submitting same model in bone

conduction, use another set of forns and change air to bone.

On second set also change item number to next unused number

(such as 1 to 6)

.

Cross out features not applicable to the particular model, such as deletion of headband if other than bone conduction.

If telephone pick-up feature is not available, cross out this reference.

If submitting more than one model of same type, change item number on additional sets of forms to next unused number. (For example -

1 thru IE may hccc?:-e. 6 thru 6E for second model, etc.)

If insturrr.cat takes two batteries to operate it, change number of

batteries to 6 for schedule A. For on-the-body aids, if garment carrier is not commercially available

from your firm, delete item.

For IE or EG types, indicate if instruments come for .fitting left or

right, or interchangeable.

Pricing schedules should be completed and returned in 3^ copies. Additional

copies are available from issuing office upon request, or photo copies

n«.y be used. ,
