Summary

For this study, Bernafon AG will carry out testing with participants with hearing loss to compare a dedicated music program to a general listening program. The Bernafon hearing aids used for the current study are CEmarked and will be released to the market in early 2022. The goal is to determine whether musicians will perceive a difference and prefer the music program over the default listening program in real-life situations. The devices will also be validated for performance before their release to the market.
