Introduction: It is notoriously difficult to obtain a perfect fitting of hearing aids (HAs) for children as they often struggle to understand their hearing loss well enough to discuss the fitting adequately with their audiologist. Dartanan is an ‘edu... Read More about Dartanan: Prototype evaluations of a serious game to engage children in the calibration of their hearing aid functionalities.

Play&Tune: User Feedback in the Development of a Serious Game for Optimizing Hearing Aid Orientation (2020)
Journal Article
Hallewell, M., Patel, H., Salantri, D., Picinali, L., Cobb, S., Velzen, J., D'Cruz, M., Simeone, L., & Simeone, M. (2021). Play&Tune: User Feedback in the Development of a Serious Game for Optimizing Hearing Aid Orientation. Ergonomics in Design, 29(1), 14-24. https://doi.org/10.1177/1064804619899558

Many hearing aid (HA) users are dissatisfied with HA performance in social situations. One way to improve HA outcomes is training the users to understand how HAs work. Play&Tune was designed to provide this training and to foster autonomy in hearing...
