Examination of differences between successful and unsuccessful elderly hearing aid candidates matched for age, hearing loss and gender.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:There is growing interest in the concepts of listening effort and fatigue associated with hearing loss. However, the theoretical underpinnings and clinical meaning of these concepts are unclear. This lack of clarity reflects both the relative immaturity of the field and the fact that research studies investig...
