Predictors of Hearing Aid Use in the Advanced Digital Era: An Investigation of Benefit, Satisfaction, and Self-Efficacy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although audiologists have been using support personnel for over 45 yr, controversy and variability continue with respect to the entry-level education, training methods, and scope of practice. PURPOSE:As part of a larger clinical practices survey, this report focuses on use of audiology assistants (AAs) for...
