Participants were aged 70\u201384 years, had adult-onset mild-to-moderate hearing loss, had no previous hearing aid use, and were without substantial cognitive impairment at baseline.

The Client-Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) was used to identify listening needs that guided intervention delivery and was used to assess attainment of hearing-related goals following ~10-week intervention period. Hearing aid datalogging was used to measure hours of daily wear. We estimated the association between hearing aid technology level, HATs, hours of wear, and COSI goal attainment using an ordered logistic model adjusting for auditory and sociodemographic characteristics.

Participant COSI goals, which included categories such as conversation in noise and in quiet or attending church and\/or meetings, improved and were not dependent on technology used. Participants benefited from patient-centered hearing intervention, and there were no statistically significant associations among hearing aid technology level, HATs, hours of use, and change in COSI goals.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient-centered selection of hearing technology used in the ACHIEVE study resulted in high levels of hearing aid and HAT usage, along with positive COSI listening goal attainment for the majority of participants.
