More than 80% of hearing aid users have trouble hearing conversations in noisy surroundings. In fact, being able to hear friends and family in noise has been rated by consumers as the most desirable hearing aid attribute*. Difficulties experienced in background noise cannot be measured by a standard hearing test.

Until recently, speech-in-noise tests were used for counselling, and to demonstrate benefits before and after hearing aid fitting. The purpose of the Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test, is to prescribe the right amount of assistance of advanced hearing aid features based on you individual hearing loss and ability to listen in background noise.
