Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Each participant will be fit with the investigational devices under three conditions: Power dome, Vented dome, and Open dome. Participant will complete the same tests under each condition. All participants will complete the same conditions.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Participants will know they are being fit with hearing aid, but will not be told which vent size or dome they are being fit with for any of the tests. The investigator scoring the speech test will not know which vent size/dome participant is wearing.

Study Groups

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

Experimental

All participants will be tested using all three types of domes: Power, Vented, Open.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Phonak Audeo Infinio Hearing Aid

Intervention Type DEVICE

Receiver-In-Canal hearing aid type that is coupled with either a custom earmold or a dome.
