Description
Victor Goiris Calderaro and co-authors follow new hearing aid users through their first year in a 2026 study. The group included 24 adults with moderate or severe sensorineural hearing loss. Brain response tests, speech sentence tests, and handicap questionnaires were run before fitting and again at six and twelve months.
Brain wave timing and size did not shift across the year for either tone or speech stimuli. Speech understanding still improved across the three stages, above all in moderate loss, and fitted thresholds opened access to speech sounds. Users also reported fewer social and emotional limits. Benefit in daily life can thus grow even when lab brain measures stay flat.
