ABSTRACT:
Response-modifying acoustic couplers are provided for use between an output port of a hearing aid unit and an earmold at the entrance to the ear of a wearer, including a passage and a chamber which respectively provide a high acoustic inertance and a high acoustic compliance to cooperate with other acoustic elements and to form an acoustic network producing a predetermined frequency response characteristic.
