Smartphones and community workers bring hearing help to underserved areas

NCT ID NCT06982716

Summary

This study is testing a new way to provide hearing aids in low- and middle-income communities where access to hearing specialists is limited. It will see if community health workers, using a smartphone app to fit hearing aids, can help people with hearing loss as well as or better than a basic, non-customized device. The goal is to create a more affordable and accessible model for hearing care.
