Hearing aid acclimatization shows significant objective speech recognition improvements within months. However, subjective questionnaire results did not demonstrate a similar enhancement between the first and third months post-fitting.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Context:

  • Hearing aid acclimatization is a crucial period post-fitting.
  • Users experience progressive improvements in hearing and speech recognition.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate hearing aid acclimatization using objective speech tests and subjective questionnaires.
  • To assess speech recognition and hearing aid outcomes over three months.

Summary:

  • Objective speech tests (PISR, S/N ratio) showed statistically significant improvements (p<0.001) in speech recognition over three months.
  • Subjective evaluation via the International Outcome Inventory of Hearing Aid (IOI-HA) did not reveal significant changes between the first and third months.

Impact:

  • Objective measures indicate progressive speech ability enhancement post-hearing aid fitting.

  • Subjective feedback may lag behind objective improvements in the initial acclimatization phase.
