Perceived benefit, satisfaction, and hearing aid use patterns were measured in a follow-up study to a large-scale multi-site clinical trial conducted in 1996-97. Measures included the Hearing Aid Status Questionnaire, the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit, the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile, the Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life, and the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids. On the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit, hearing aid users indicated more unaided difficulty in easy listening situations and less aided benefit in more difficult listening situations compared to the original study. Subjects who no longer used hearing aids indicated less difficulty in unaided situations. All measures indicated significant long-term subjective benefit and satisfaction with hearing aids. Although understanding speech in noise or in group situations continues to be problematic, subjects reported wearing their hearing aids almost all of the time in both easy and difficult listening situations.
在一项针对1996 - 1997年进行的大规模多中心临床试验的随访研究中，对感知益处、满意度和助听器使用模式进行了测量。测量指标包括《助听器状态问卷》《助听器益处概况》《格拉斯哥助听器益处概况》《日常生活中对放大功能的满意度》以及《助听器国际结果量表》。与原研究相比，在《助听器益处概况》中，助听器使用者表示在轻松聆听环境下 unaided 困难更多，而在更困难的聆听环境下 aided 益处更少。不再使用助听器的受试者表示 unaided 情况下困难更少。所有指标均表明使用助听器具有显著的长期主观益处和满意度。尽管在嘈杂或群体环境中理解言语仍然存在问题，但受试者报告称，在轻松和困难的聆听环境中，他们几乎一直都戴着助听器。
