Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of helping first-time hearing-aid users get the most out of their hearing aids and determine if one method is better than the other. One method provides the patient with routine information regarding the care and use of hearing aids the other method uses tools to address patient-specific barriers against and motivators for hearing-aid use.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard-of-Care

The "standard-of-care" control group will review and practice with the audiologist content such as: 1) information on hearing-aid batteries and how to change them, 2) cleaning/daily care of the hearing aids, and 3) inserting and removing the hearing aids.
