Background: After the adaptation of hearing aids, an improvement in speech understanding is expected to occur, called acclimatization.
Aim: To determine the effect of acclimatization in sentences recognition threshold, for the conditions of silence (SRTQ) and noise (SRTN), in new users of hearing aids, evaluated prior to and after acclimatization, without the use of the hearing aids.
Method: Participants were 40 individuals, aged between 28 and 78 years, with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss.
Unlabelled: The use of hearing aids can provide plasticity to the hearing system as well as improve speech recognition as time goes by.
Aim: To compare the influence of the length of hearing aid use on the benefit obtained with the hearing aids in adults and the elderly, new hearing aids users.
Materials And Methods: Prospective study with 40 individuals with mild to moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss, gathered in 2 groups: Adults Group--13 people aged between 28 and 59 years old; and Elderly Group--27 people aged between 61 and 78 years old.
