The purpose of this SIG 6 study is to determine the differences between self-reported hearing difficulties, response time, and blast exposure history for those with and without auditory processing disorder, which is operationally classified based on abnormal results on behavioral speech-in-noise and binaural-processing assessments. The study also examines factors that contribute to low gain hearing aid benefit.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• Identify the potential factors that impact low gain hearing aid benefit

Assessment Type
Self-assessment—Think about what you learned and report on the Completion Form how you will use your new knowledge.
