Methods for comparing hearing-aid programs in group conversations: paired comparisons and ratings

Both psychophysical methods worked well for evaluating hearing-aid settings during live group conversations, and the results of the two methods generally agreed. The paired comparison method was slightly more effective in finding differences between the two hearing-aid settings. Ratings of conversation flow were generally high for both methods.

Abstract

Both psychophysical methods worked well for evaluating hearing-aid settings during live group conversations, and the results of the two methods generally agreed. The paired comparison method was slightly more effective in finding differences between the two hearing-aid settings. Ratings of conversation flow were generally high for both methods.
