How to ensure a deaf adult gets the most appropriate and properly programmed hearing aid ~ How can the hearing aids be set-up better? ~ What is the most effective (in terms of hearing aid use and benefit) hearing aid prescription for mild-moderate hearing loss in adults? ~ How specifically tuned to one particular person's hearing difficulty can a hearing aid get. In short, can the only thing that can be achieved be a turning up of the volume ~ What is the effect of sound flow programs on hearing aid wearers' ability to enjoy discussion in competing noise/group situations? ~ Would allowing full user programming of hearing aid parameters be a benefit? |
