Summary

This study is designed to investigate the benefits of the hearing aid in the laboratory and in daily life when fitted with two different methods. Subjective and objective evaluations will be made. The aim is to show the benefits of the hearing aids with both fitting methods with the help of data obtained, and to improve the available fitting methods in order to further increase the benefit for people with hearing disorders in situations where the standard method and those trained to perform it are not available.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Fitting System

End users will drive the screening and fitting flow; however, a trained professional is intended to assist them and help with explanations and the actual fitting of the hearing aids on the person. For a first time user the physical act of placing the hearing aid in/on the ear may create confusion. Therefore, the software is designed for an assistant to guide the user through the process and help with specific parts of the fitting or any questions in general.

DEVICE

Traditional Fitting System

The trained professional will fit the hearing aids with the traditional software that is currently used on the market. They will not involve the patient except to play demonstration tones.
