    Journal: Pro Fono; 2004; 16(1):101-10. PubMed ID: 15109113.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: assessment of the subjective benefit brought by the use of the hearing aid. AIM: to determine the benefit brought by the use of the hearing aid through a subjective procedure. METHOD: the subjective benefit of the hearing aid was assessed in 15 hearing impaired individuals, novice hearing aid users, through the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aind Benefit (APHAB) self-assessment questionnaire, which was answered before and after the hearing aid fitting. RESULTS: the results demonstrated statistically significant differences between the conditions with and without the hearing aid, indicating a better performance with the use of amplification. CONCLUSION: this procedure demonstrated to be valuable for the assessment of the benefits brought by the process of hearing aid fitting.
