10. Hit the Target Every pediatric audiologist worth his or her otoscope knows that it is absolutely imperative to verify the output of every child’s hearing aids using RECD and probe microphone measurements. However, some uncertainty still exists regarding the ideal prescriptive targets to which the output of children’s hearing aids should be matched. Many pediatric audiologists in North America use the desired sensation level prescriptive (DSL) v5.0 fitting method for fitting hearing aids to children, while pediatric audiologists in Australia often use the NAL-NL2 method. An earlier study conducted by DSL and NAL researchers evaluated the prescriptive method preference of schoolage children in Canada and Australia. They found that the children’s previous experience determined their preference for a particular fitting method. In other words, children who were initially fitted with the DSL method typically preferred it over NAL and vice versa. The LOCHI study randomly placed participants into two groups for post-diagnostic fitting of initial hearing aids–either according to the DSL prescriptive method or the NAL prescriptive method. Dr. Ching reported that on average, there were no significant differences in language outcomes between the two groups. This should not come as a surprise considering that a great deal of research has been invested in each of these methods to ensure the provision of adequate audibility for children with hearing loss. So, pediatric audiologists around the globe can rejoice in the news that regardless of the fitting method used, we can expect satisfactory outcomes for patients fitted to evidencebased prescriptive targets.
