Consequences of hearing aid acclimatization on ALLRs and its relationship with perceived benefit and speech perception abilities

ConclusionsThe study provides evidence for improvements in neural processing of auditory cortical areas with hearing aid acclimatization. The improvements seen in perceived benefit and speech perception are not related to the improvements in ALLRs. This is the first study in the domain with a younger group compared to the previous studies and the results show evidence for neural plasticity influencing hearing aid acclimatization benefits.
