Benefit of Amplification for Normal-Hearing Adults who Have Trouble Hearing in Background Noise
FY 2017-18
Summary
Few recommendations are made for adults who self-report difficulty hearing in background noise, but have clinically normal-hearing thresholds. The purpose of the present study was to investigate if wearing a mild gain hearing aid for two weeks could reduce an individual's level of hearing handicap. Also included was an aged matched, normal-hearing control group who did not have difficulty hearing in background noise. Hearing handicap scores for only the experimental group decreased after wearing the hearing aids for two-weeks.
