Detailed description

This is a pilot, prospective, interventional, comparative, randomized, longitudinal, open, multicenter study comparing synchronous and delayed hearing aid and speech therapy. Patients will be randomly divided by drawing lots into 2 groups. Both groups will benefit from a hearing aid prescription and speech therapy for a series of 24 sessions at the rate of 1 per week, for an approximate duration of 6 months. Group A will benefit from speech therapy and synchronous equipment, and group B will begin speech therapy after 3 months after the installation of the equipment.
