Journal Title: Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Is a ‘science knows best’ approach the best option for hearing care, or do patients want more control; and if so, how much control do they want? The aim of this study is to assess what the thoughts and opinions of hearing aid users are towards a hearing aid they can programme themselves and investigate what control they require.
