Novel Technology Adoption in the Audiology Clinic: Investigations of Ear Tip Performance, Perceptions, and Experiences
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating BTE hearing aid with compatible earmolds for Hearing Aids. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Normal hearing participants will be fit with a hearing aid and different types of customized earmolds. Hearing aids will be programmed to a simulated mild, flat, sensorineural hearing loss of 30 dB HL from 250-8000Hz. Objective acoustic real ear measures and subjective ratings of sound quality and physical comfort will be evaluated and compared between earmolds. Findings will help researchers to better understand the impacts of different earmolds and how each might affect overall point-of-care.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Hearing aids will be fit with three different types of customized earmolds. They will only wear each earmold group for the duration of the test (total = \~2.5 hours). Hearing aids will be programmed to a simulated mild, flat, sensorineural hearing loss of 30 dB HL from 250-8000Hz. A short washout period will follow completion of testing with ear earmold group.
