•The inclusion and exclusion criteria for participation were designed to include people who are typically seen in hearing aid clinics. (i) new HA users who were to be fitted with HAs for the first time, (ii) experienced HA users (with at least 1 year of HA use) to be fitted with a different set of aids compared to those previously worn, (iii) were over 18 years of age, (iv) could speak fluent English, and (v) were in good general health. All types, severities and configurations of hearing loss were accepted.

•Those who were in a dependent relationship that precluded them from making independent decision, or unable to perform tasks required due to an underlying physical or mental condition (e.g. difficulty to recall information, unable to provide answers to questions, move arms and hands, presented with visual severe impairment, etc.) were not included.
