Listening Benefits From a Hearing-aid App, a Personal Sound Amplification Product, and a Hearing Aid in Hearing-impaired Listeners

December 1, 2022 updated by: Moo Kyun, Park, Seoul National University Hospital
Interest and demand for sound amplifiers are increasing due to the burden of purchasing hearing aids and technological advances in healthcare products, and the demand is expected to increase rapidly. For sensorineural hearing loss patients, who are subject to wearing hearing aids, it aims to compare the effect of hearing aid application and personal sound amplification product (PSAPs) compared to the hearing aids
