Holder JT, Picou EM, Gruenwald JM, Ricketts TA. Do Modern Hearing Aids Meet ANSI Standards? Journal of the American Academy of Audiology. 2016 Sep;27(27). 619-27.
Abstract
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) provides standards used to govern standardization of all hearing aids. If hearing aids do not meet specifications, there are potential negative implications for hearing aid users, professionals, and the industry. Recent literature has not investigated the proportion of new hearing aids in compliance with the ANSI specifications for quality control standards when they arrive in the clinic before dispensing.
