Summary

This trial evaluates the Whisper.ai hearing system that uses a "self-fitting" capability to calibrate hearing aids to the needs of individual users. The study will compare results from the self-fitting algorithm to those of standardized fitting procedures conducted by hearing professionals.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Screening, intake and first fit (either PRO-FIT or SELF-FIT fitting )Active Control1 Intervention
This multi-center, prospective, randomized cross-over clinical trial compares two methods of fitting individuals with hearing loss with a therapeutic amplification device (i.e., hearing aids). Subjects will wear the Whisper Hearing System for the PRO-FIT and SELF-FIT for two weeks each, totalling to approximately 1 month of wear throughout the trial. At the first visit, all individuals will go through intake procedures and a basic audiologic evaluation. After this is completed, individuals are randomized into one of two arms of the study Individuals in the first visit of the study will receive the conventional PRO-FIT method for the first two weeks, then will switch to the experimental SELF-FIT method for the last half of the study.
Group II: Second fit (either PRO-FIT or SELF-FIT fitting )Placebo Group1 Intervention
Conversely, individuals in the second visit of the study will receive the experimental SELF-FIT method for the first two weeks, then will switch to the conventional PRO-FIT method for the last two weeks. The two fitting methods (PRO-FIT and SELF-FIT) will be compared to evaluate the efficiency and reliability of the Whisper hearing system self-fitting algorithm.
