Official title
Evaluation of Open-Ear Canal and Traditional Custom-Fit Hearing Aids
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the benefits of in-the-ear vs. open-fit behind-the-ear hearing aids. We want to learn more about which patients prefer each type, so we can make better choices about which type of hearing aid is best for which patients. Participants in this study will try three different sets of hearing aids for 2 months each, then we will evaluate the benefit of each type. Participants must be Veterans who are eligible for audiology care at one of the three participating sites.
