NCT ID NCT05070429

Summary

This study tested whether getting hearing aid care through video calls (telehealth) works as well as going to a clinic for older adults who already use hearing aids. Researchers compared the two methods to see if telehealth helps people use their hearing aids more often and improves communication. The trial involved 339 participants who were followed for two years.
