NCT ID NCT06108609
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether French versions of two standard hearing aid benefit questionnaires (IOI-HA and COSI) are accurate and reliable. Researchers enrolled 100 adults with hearing loss who use hearing aids. The goal was to confirm these questionnaires work well in French, so clinics can use them to improve hearing aid settings and patient satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide validated tools for French-speaking clinics to better measure hearing aid benefits and improve patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaires may not capture all aspects of hearing aid benefit, and results may not apply to all populations.
