Humes, Larry E.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v39 n5 p923-35 Oct 1996

A study of 20 elderly people with hearing impairments was conducted to test the reliability and stability of different hearing-aid outcome measures. Measures of hearing aid benefit, performance, use, and satisfaction exhibited stability over time, on both a group and individual basis, especially at and beyond 30-day post-fit. (CR)
