Efficacy of a Coupler-Based Hearing-Aid Fitting Approach for Experienced Users

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted May 13, 2016·Updated May 10, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating standard hearing aid fitting and coupler-based fitting for Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The overall aim of the study is to compare the verification accuracy and hearing-aid outcomes between the traditional, fitting approach where the patient is present during the visit and a coupler-based fitting approach where the patient is not present and mailed their hearing aids. If the coupler-based fitting protocol tested in this study as effective as the traditional fitting protocol, then patients receiving replacement hearing aids may circumvent a face-to-face visit.
