The study aims to investigate if the level of hearing aid (HA) technology has an impact on self-reported outcomes in patients with presbycusis in terms of overall IOI-HA scores, Factor 1, Factor 2 scores, SSQ scores, and the SSQ domains. The study explores if presbycusis patients report better outcomes with premium level HA technology compared to basic level HA technology. Further, the study investigates if premium level HAs provide more high-frequency gain than basic HAs using Real Ear Measurements.
