Evaluating the Impact of Hearing Aid Signal Enhancement Algorithms in Real-World Contexts
Researchers are doing this study to understand why hearing aids often work well in controlled laboratory settings but don't provide the same level of benefit in everyday noisy environments. The questions they hope to answer are:
* What factors contribute to hearing aid benefit in noisy environments * What factors limit hearing aid benefit * How do real-world factors interact with common hearing aid settings
Participants will complete:
* Hearing and listening tests * Memory and attention assessment * Surveys on their Smartphone
Inclusion: Over 18 years old; Symmetrical, bilateral, adult onset, sensorineural hearing loss; Experienced hearing aid users (> 3 months).
Exclusion: Under 18 years old; Conductive or mixed hearing loss; Asymmetrical or unilateral hearing loss; Pre-lingual or childhood hearing loss onset; No hearing aid experience.
