Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Programming hearing aids using an audiogram-based prescription improves outcomes compared to other methods. However, self-adjustment may yield similar or better results, though evidence quality is low.

Area of Science:

Audiology
Hearing Science
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Traditional hearing aid programming relies on audiometric thresholds and real-ear measures.
Direct-to-consumer hearing devices bypass traditional programming methods.
This review evaluates programming strategies for adult hearing loss.

Approach:

Systematic review of seven experimental studies.
Studies categorized by fitting method: comparative, client choice, and self-fit.
PRISMA guidelines and PROSPERO registration followed.

Key Points:

Audiogram-based prescriptions enhance hearing aid outcomes over comparative or client-choice fittings.
Self-adjustment during use may offer equivalent or superior results.
Evidence quality for outcomes is low to very low.

Conclusions:

High-quality studies are needed for evidence-based hearing aid fitting decisions.
The effectiveness of different hearing aid fitting methods requires further investigation.
Future research should focus on robust methodologies to guide clinical practice.
