A
Veteran's Administration study of nearly 200 adults found that
hearing aids are "very successful treatments for reversing
the social, emotional and communication dysfunction caused by
hearing impairment."
The people in the study had a mild
or moderate hearing loss, and none had used hearing aids
previously. Six weeks after being fit with hearing aids, each
person completed a detailed questionnaire. The results indicated
"large quality of life improvements in the areas of
communication and social function." Based
on the study, the researches concluded: "hearing aids
represent a relatively inexpensive therapy for the amount of benefit
gained."
