Summary

This goal of this study is to learn if a new audiology treatment process called the self-efficacy-based auditory rehabilitation (SEBAR) can improve confidence and success with over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can the SEBAR improve participants' confidence related to managing their over-the-counter hearing aids?
* Can the SEBAR improve participants' willingness to adopt over-the-counter hearing aids, their satisfaction, quality of life, and their emotional state? Researchers will compare these outcomes of the SEBAR with and without wearing OTC hearing aids.

Participants will:

* Visit for one appointment to complete a few questionnaires without OTC hearing aids
* Wear a pair of ITC hearing aids for a week and use an app to answer questions about their experiences
* Visit for a second appointment to complete the same questionnaires with OTC hearing aids.
