Evaluating Real-World Benefits of Hearing Aids With Deep Neural Network-Based Noise Reduction: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

CONCLUSIONS: Hearing aids with DNN-based noise reduction resulted in consistent sound satisfaction regardless of the level of background noise compared to hearing aids implementing noise reduction based on traditional statistical models. While the two hearing aid models also differed on other parameters (e.g., shape), these differences are unlikely to explain the difference in how background noise impacts sound satisfaction with the aids.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25114526.PMID:38354098 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00149
