My Hearing Experience - a Study About the Effect of Personality and Lifestyle on Everyday Hearing

December 19, 2023 updated by: WSAUD A/S
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate how personality, motivation & auditory lifestyle relate to hearing aid satisfaction & acceptance for first-time hearing aid users. As such, first-time hearing aid users will be followed via an app for a period of six months. They will answer baseline questionnaires about personality, lifestyle and hearing aid expectations before the first fit. After the hearing aid fitting, they will be prompted by the app to answer questionnaires about their hearing aid experience at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24.
