Make sure your dispenser will do an extensive hearing assessment in a soundproof booth to determine the type, degree and dimension of your hearing loss.
The results of that study, known as SAI-WHAT (Screening for Auditory Impairment-Which Hearing Assessment Test), found that adults who tested positive for hearing loss were more likely to use a hearing aid one year later.
The main outcome measures were surgical findings, residual lesion rate, and hearing assessment.
Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is an objective and non-invasive method of hearing assessment which detects electrical activity from the inner ear to the inferior colliculus.
The present study measured test retest variability and time efficiency of an automated hearing assessment method called 'new early warning test (NEWT)' incorporated inside a quietpro® hearing protection device (HPD).
Differences in hearing assessment methods and in subjects included may partly explain the discordant results.
