The role of amplification on cognition and general well-being of the wearer is increasingly recognized, but the role of specific hearing aid features in this process is also important, as processing features of hearing aids could affect the ease of understanding. In this seminar, Dr. Kuk will use a cognitive model to explain why processing delay on a hearing aid could affect the user’s experience with amplification.
