Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will investigate the listening preferences of people with hearing impairment while wearing hearing aids. They will listen to speech in a situation which is commonly reported as difficult for people who wear hearing aids. Participants will wear one set of hearing aids set to their hearing loss with two programs providing these different algorithms. By having the participants toggle (with a remote control) back and forth between algorithms designed for these real-life difficult listening situations, they can rate their preferences and listening experiences.
Of particular interest, in addition to overall preference, are ratings of the background noise, listening effort and annoyance of artefacts.

Hearing Aid use for listening to speech in a common difficult situation
The hearing aids will be worn in two different programs, each with a different microphone configuration. The participants will listen to speech while wearing the hearing aids and alternate programs to form their opinions about these programs; they will only know that they are rating different settings, not what the settings are. They will then rate their listening experiences via rating scales to determine their preferences.
