Abstract

The following case study describes the results of one research subject who participated in a federally funded research project regarding hearing aids and their objective and subjective benefits over a 16-week period. Results include her performance on a computerized version of the Nonsense Syllable Test (NST) presented in both quiet and noise as well as her performance on weekly training exercises adapted from the NST. In addition, repeated Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) results over the 16-week period are reported. Results indicate that hearing aid benefit was greater and more stable for quiet conditions than for noisy conditions. This benefit was seen soon after fitting.
