Ltd.，香港）的经历。双侧安装的仪器包含大型控件，颜色显示，光束形成的声音处理和蓝牙功能。对43名老年参与者（平均年龄= 71;范围46 - 88年）进行了调查，以衡量对助听器的设备的利益和满意度和满意度。他们使用三份标准化问卷（国际结果清单听力辅助工具，助听器福利的概况以及以客户为导向的改进规模）和开放式，结构化的访谈对他们进行了评估。 Participants rated their EasyHear device fitting highly for hours of use and improved quality of life and rated the device favorably for improved communication and benefit in background noise. A majority of users felt the device improved listening ability in their expressed area of greatest need, and also for their second highest prioritized area of greatest need. Less than 10% of users felt their listening was only occasionally or hardly ever improved when using the body-worn device. Benefit and satisfaction ratings with the EasyHear Grand were comparable to those in studies involving conventional form factor devices. Interviews highlighted areas where users felt the device could be improved—extra noise reduction, changes to device dimensions, receiver/eartip fit, and cableless technology were among the areas mentioned. Many participants valued smartphone linkage and Bluetooth capability. The EasyHear Grand, with its body-worn design and large, simple controls, was well accepted by the majority of participants. Hearing aids that break from conventional design formats may benefit many elderly individuals with hearing impairment and promote increased user acceptability.
