Power BTEs – Separating Myth from Fact
This paper discusses some popular myths about Power BTEs, and presents counter arguments for these common misconceptions.

Comparison of Automatic and Adaptive Directional Behavior Among Competitive Hearing Aids
Currently there exists no standard laboratory process for quantifying the behavior and measuring the effectiveness of adaptive directional mics and algorithms in hearing aids. In this paper, pairs of top-of-line standard BTE hearing aids from the seven major hearing aid manufacturers, including Sonic Innovations, were evaluated using the PSO with NRI calculations to determine the relative behaviors of their respective automatic and/or adaptive directional microphone technologies.

Accuracy of Predicted 2cm3 Coupler Gain Values Across Manufacturers
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of manufacturers’ predicted gain values as shown in their software.

Determining Moisture Resistance Through Accelerated Product Life Testing
This paper proposes a standardized method to evaluate the moisture and corrosion resistance of hearing aid designs to help focus changes to improve moisture and corrosion resistance.
