Summary
Many hearing aid users experience substantial communication difficulties that may affect their participation in daily life situations negatively. One of the reasons for experiencing remaining problems could be due to unrealistic expectations, another reason could be that the hearing aid is not well adjusted or that the hearing aid user didn't got sufficient support and follow-up from the audiologist. The purpose of this project is to offer remote hearing aid adjustment as an additional support for new hearing aid users.
