Wide dynamic range compression typifies all nonlinear hearing aid amplification
Evidence
Although WDRC is not the only nonlinear amplification scheme, the benefits and deficits of using this type of algorithm are reasonably illustrative of other nonlinear forms of amplification, and so we only discuss WDRC here. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1718
