Thirty listeners with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss adjusted gain parameters in quiet and in several types of noise. Outcomes from self-adjusted gain and audiologist-fit gain indicated consistent within-subject performance but a great deal of between-subject variability. Gain selection did not strongly affect intelligibility within the range of signal-to-noise ratios tested. Implications from the findings are that individual listeners have consistent preferences for gain and may prefer gain configurations that differ greatly from National Acoustic Laboratories-based prescriptions in quiet and in noise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2331216518798264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,7]],"date-time":"2018-09-07T06:34:15Z","timestamp":1536302055000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Self-Adjusted Amplification Parameters Produce Large Between-Subject Variability and Preserve Speech Intelligibility"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1491-1927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peggy B.","family":"Nelson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trevor T.","family":"Perry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Gregan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dianne","family":"VanTasell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr42-2331216518798264","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Allen, J.
