Blast-exposed Veterans With Auditory Complaints

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Apr 24, 2014·Updated Jun 22, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating mild-gain hearing aids with high-frequency emphasis over 6-months for Hearing Impairment and Hearing Aid Fitting. Completed, enrolled 363 participants across 3 sites.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to study blast-exposed Veterans who report hearing handicap but show normal or near normal results on standard audiometric testing. The characteristics and nature of their auditory and auditory-related skills will be examined, along with whether coexisting PTSD contributes to the hearing problems of these Veterans. In a preliminary treatment study, a sub-sample of these Veterans will be fitted with mild-gain hearing aids to determine if they benefit from low-level amplification of high-frequency sounds.
