Acute Comparison of Mild-Gain Hearing Aid Approaches in an Adult With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Long-Term Effects of Mild-Gain Amplification on Speech Perception in Noise and Self-Reported Hearing-Related Disability, Hyperacusis, and Quality of Life.

Objective: This report documents the effects of hearing treatment in an adult with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and normal peripheral hearing acuity.

Design: This report details a case study of a 26-year-old female with a history of mTBI.

Study Sample: A 26-year-old female with a history of mTBI presented with auditory symptoms including tinnitus, hyperacusis, listening fatigue, and speech-in-noise (SIN) difficulties despite diagnostic audiological findings showing normal peripheral auditory function and suprathreshold SIN performance within the normal range.
