Objective: To conduct usability and human factors testing on hearing aid device to assess if the required specifications are met. • Specifications :
Specifications 9, 10 • Range of adult ear size accommodated • Final design will be measured to ensure dimensions fall with in the 5%-95% percentile • Weight of earpiece • Final prototype will be weighed to ensure it’s weight is below 15 grams
Specification #9 • ANSUR Database provided 5th percentile Female and 95th percentile Male ear dimensions • All units in mm
Statistical Analysis Results Designing for small ears: 17 mm for Ear Protrusion 54 mm Ear length Designing for Medium to Large ears: 30 mm for Ear Protrusion 72 mm Ear length
Specifications 14-17 Two Surveys: Small Group Imagine-RIT
