Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Test results on spectral loudness summation and binaural loudness summation will be analysed for descriptive statistics.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary study parameters that will be studied are the differences between types of hearing loss and the kind of BB noise (high frequency noises and low frequency noises). Furthermore we want to evaluate the loudness based fitting method Fit2Ears to the NAL-NL2 fitting method by using the SRT results.	—
