Evaluation of Investigational Hearing Instrument Features

Evaluation of Investigational Hearing Instrument Features

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how hearing instruments perform in varying environmental settings in adults with hearing loss. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How do varying versions of hearing instrument features perform based on exposure to different environments? What is the hearing instrument user preference between varying versions of hearing instrument features?

Participants will be fit with hearing instruments in the lab, and asked to wear them for the duration of the study period in their home environment. Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires throughout the study period.
