Why this Research Matters The study looks at how hearings aids affect daily life. We want to better understand what life is like for people with hearing loss - with and without hearing aids. We’ll ask about your thoughts and experiences before, during, and after you start using your hearing aids. What to Expect If you join this study, you will fill out three online surveys about your experience as a new hearing aid user. The first survey is before you are fitted for your hearing aids. This survey will ask about your expectations and views towards hearing aids. The next two surveys are 2 and 6 months after you are fitted for your hearing aids. These surveys will ask about your experience as a new hearing aid user. Study Duration You will fill out three online surveys. Each one takes about 20 minutes each. The study lasts about 6 months. Compensation Information You will get a $20 Amazon Gift Card after you fill out the last survey.
