Technology, expectations, and adjustment to hearing loss: predictors of hearing aid outcome.

abstract：:The literature suggests that directional microphone hearing aids (DMHAs) are a viable means for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for hearing-impaired listeners. The amount of directional advantage they provide, however, remains relatively unclear because of variability observed among individual studies. The p...
