Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The insertion gain simulated in software programming of hearing aids was higher than the real ear insertion gain obtained with the probe microphone measures. With the t paired test was observed that there was statistically significant difference over the frequencies, significance level equal 5%.[Normally, the primary outcome was assessed during the hearing aids' tests or follow up sessions, 1 month after the adaptation of the hearing aid. But this measurement can be assessed in any time after the adaptation.<br>The experience with the use of hearing aids doesn't influence the results tests.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
There was no correlation (with Pearson's correlation) from age to the difference of real ear measures and measures simulated.[Normally, the secondary outcome was assessed during the hearing aids' tests or follow up sessions, 1 month after the adaptation of the hearing aid. But this measurement can be assessed in any time after the adaptation.<br>The experience with the use of hearing aids doesn't influence the results tests.<br>The secondary outcome was assessed at the same time with the primary outcome.]
