Listening Effort in Hearing Aid Users: Is It Related to Hearing Aid Use and Satisfaction?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of the American Academy of Audiology"
DOI: 10.1055/a-1865-3449
Abstract: Abstract Background Listening effort is primarily reflective of real-world performance. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the listening effort to predict the performance of hearing aid (HA) users in their daily lives. Purpose This study… read more here.
