About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of artificial intelligence-integrated hearing aids in individuals with hearing loss. The main questions to answer are:
1. How effective is an artificial intelligence integrated hearing aid in improving speech perception in noise. 2. How does an artificial intelligence integrated hearing aid compare to currently available commercial hearing aids.

Treatments tested in this trial
Artificial Intelligence Integrated Hearing Aid Use
DeviceParticipants in this arm will use the study-designed artificial intelligence-integrated hearing aid in the listening tasks. Participants will also perform the listening tasks without hearing aids to act as controls.
Phonak Infineo Hearing Aid
DeviceParticipants in this arm will use a fitted commercial hearing aid in the listening tasks. Participants will also perform the listening tasks without hearing aids to act as controls.
Oticon Real Hearing Aid
DeviceParticipants in this arm will use a fitted commercial hearing aid in the listening tasks. Participants will also perform the listening tasks without hearing aids to act as controls.
Treatment groups
100 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: Oticon Hearing Aid vs Experimental Hearing AidExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Phonak Hearing Aid vs Experimental Hearing AidsExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Speech Reception Threshold
A measurement of difference in average speech reception threshold across all groups
Time frame
From enrollment in the study until completion of a one day listening test experiment.2
Awareness of Environmental Marker
During certain listening tasks, an environmental sound of concern (e.g. a siren, or alarm) will be played while the participant is tasked with identifying speech. Awareness of these sounds will be tested by reaction time to the sound and identification of the sound.
Time frame
From enrollment in the study until completion of a one day listening test experiment.Secondary outcomes
1
Preference Scores
Mean opinion scores about which device is preferred
