Trainable hearing aids have been available for several years, although curiously, not embraced by many audiologists. This course is a review of trainable hearing aids, how they function and potential patient benefits. It will discuss the results of several research studies with trainable products, and illustrate how the findings of these studies relate to clinical practice. Finally, we’ll talk about some day-to-day applications for this technology, and hopefully conclude that trainable hearing aids are indeed a friend, not a foe.This course is part of the Signia Expert Series.
