Reduced dynamic range makes linear hearing aid amplification unsafe

Evidence

Listeners with hearing loss also commonly experience frequencydependent hearing loss, and may have different amplification needs for some frequencies than for others. The reduced dynamic range experienced by listeners with hearing loss makes linear amplification inappropriate, as high input sound levels could become excessively loud and potentially damaging. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1717
