“…Possible explanations for this observation may include high expectations from the device prior to use, improper device choice as a result of prices, and technical problems with the device [10,16,17]. According to a previous IOI-HA questionnaire result conducted with 232 patients, device type and the degree of hearing loss are not significant components of patient satisfaction, however the level of the hearing loss influenced the duration of daily HA usage [17]. Daily HA usage duration is important for adaptation to the device and successful application [18].…”

Aim: Adult hearing aid applications are known to be common. In this study, the assessment of the satisfaction of short-term use of a unilateral hearing aid in bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in adults with at least three months is intended.Methods: Forty individuals with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, who use unilateral hearing aid for the first time in 40-65 age range, have been prospectively evaluated. Hearing aid satisfaction surveys are explored with applications before and 3 months after using the unilateral digital hearing aid.Results: There was a statistically significant decrease in total HHIA scores with unilateral HA uses (P < 0.01). SDS significantly increased in both ears, but the improvement was more marked in the fitted ear. After 3 months of hearing aid usage, the 95% have had moderate or more benefit with a unilateral HA. Using a hearing aid in the daytime increases patient satisfaction and survey scores improvements have been identified. Conclusion:After 3 months of hearing aid usage in individuals who use these devices for the first time, it has been observed that the psycho-social problems related with hearing decreased considerably, feeling handicapped in terms of hearing loss became less, the quality of life increased in terms of hearing loss, and the individuals made use of the unilateral hearing aid.

OBJECTIVE:In auditory neuropathy (AN) a dyssynchrony in the nerve conduction of the auditory nerve fibers is observed. Typically, patients with AN exhibit moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss, and treatment using cochlear implants (CIs) or hearing aids should be performed as early as possible for a better hearing rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the satisfaction level of patients with AN spectrum disorder treated using CIs. The Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life questionnaire was selected to evaluate 10 patients with AN treated using CIs. MATERIAL and METHODS:Clinical study of patients with AN spectrum disorder submitted to CI. A retrospective data analysis, genetic and clinical evaluation in a tertiary referral center was done. RESULTS:The means of the subscales for positive effects, services and costs, negative factors, and personal image were 6.15, 4.6, 3.26, and 3.33, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with AN treated using CIs consider themselves satisfied.
