As a step toward developing an electrophysiologic method for validating the speech feature discrimination benefits of amplification, the article in this SIG 6 activity evaluates the effect of stimulus level and amplification on the acoustic change complex in adults with sensorineural hearing loss.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• describe the effect of amplification on the acoustic change complex amplitudes and latencies in adults with sensorineural hearing loss

Assessment Type
Self-assessment—Think about what you learned and report on the Completion Form how you will use your new knowledge.
