简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of helping first-time hearing-aid users get the most out of their hearing aids and determine if one method is better than the other. One method provides the patient with routine information regarding the care and use of hearing aids the other method uses tools to address patient-specific barriers against and motivators for hearing-aid use.

结局指标
主要结局
Difference in Hours of Hearing Aid Use Between Pre-intervention and Post-intervention
时间窗: Collected pre-intervention and again at post-intervention appointment occurring between four and six weeks after the intervention date
Hearing aid use was measured by the number of hours of use recorded in the hearing-aid software. This was measured on up to four occasions: Visit #1 to #3 (pre-intervention), and Visit #4 (post-intervention). Average daily hours of hearing aid use was documented at each time point, so that the Visit #4 observation is a measure of the average daily use between the start of intervention (Visit #3) and visit #4. Data logger results were averaged between the left and right hearing aids at each time point and across all three pre-intervention time points.
次要结局
- Difference Between Pre-intervention and Post-intervention Total Score on International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids(Collected twice once at pre-intervention visit and once at a post-intervention visit occurring four to six weeks following the intervention)
