A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data (2021)
Journal Article
Zobay, O., Dillard, L. K., Naylor, G., & Saunders, G. H. (2021). A measure of long-term hearing-aid use persistence based on battery re-ordering data. Ear and Hearing, 42(5), 1441-1444. https://doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001032

Objective: We describe the construction of a hearing-aid long-term use persistence measure based on battery reorder data. The measure is derived from the notion that hearing-aid users keep using their devices for some time after placing a battery...

Background:

Clinical trials that assess the benefits and harms of an intervention do so by measuring and reporting outcomes. Inconsistent selection and diversity in the choice of outcomes makes it challenging to directly compare interventions. To...
