Sweet-Spot Compression: An Amplification Strategy for Improving Listening Outcomes at Moderate to High Levels
Published online on March 17, 2026
Abstract
Trends in Hearing, Volume 30, January-December 2026.
When speech increases in level from moderate to high, speech intelligibility (SI) can decrease. Termed rollover, this phenomenon is neglected during hearing aid (HA) fitting. A previous study introduced “sweet-spot compression” (SSC)—an amplification ...
