DESCRIPTION: Methods will be developed and evaluated for measuring and predicting hearing aid outcomes. The predictions will be derived from experimental data obtained at the time the hearing aid is fitted. It is planned to develop a profile of indicators that are predictive of successful outcomes. Several new outcome measures will be developed for inclusion in this profile. A predictive profile of this type would allow consumers to make an informed choice when investing in a hearing aid and would know what to expect after the hearing aid has been fitted. Knowing what to expect is an important consideration and would reduce substantially the dissatisfaction that occurs when the hearing aid does not meet expectations.

描述：将开发和评估用于测量和预测助听器结果的方法。预测将根据助听器安装时获得的实验数据得出。计划制定一个预测成功结果的指标概况。将制定一些新的成果衡量标准以纳入本概况。这种类型的预测概况将使消费者在购买助听器时做出明智的选择，并知道在安装助听器后会发生什么。了解预期结果是一个重要的考虑因素，可以大大减少助听器不符合预期时出现的不满情绪。
