Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Overall preference for a specific microphone setting/configuration
Secondary outcome measures
Rating of Listening effort
Rating of annoyance of artefacts
Rating of awareness of background noise

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Hearing Aid use for listening to speech in a common difficult situationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The hearing aids will be worn in two different programs, each with a different microphone configuration. The participants will listen to speech while wearing the hearing aids and alternate programs to form their opinions about these programs; they will only know that they are rating different settings, not what the settings are. They will then rate their listening experiences via rating scales to determine their preferences.
