Scientists probe why some hearing aids fail
NCT ID NCT01781039
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some people with hearing loss struggle to understand speech, even with hearing aids. Researchers tested 186 adults with mild to moderate hearing loss to see how the health of their inner ear cells and hearing nerves relates to their ability to pick out words in quiet and noisy settings. The goal was to gather information that might one day help predict which patients will get the most benefit from hearing aids.
