The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a prototype app for the self-fitting of hearing aids.
After being informed about the study and potential risks, clients giving written informed consent will be enrolled as participants. Each participant will use the app to self-fit and fine-tune the study aids over 30 days. Outcome measures include speech perception tests, questionnaires and the need for support with using the app. Own-aid performance is the reference, while unaided performance is the baseline.
