Listeners with mild-to-moderate hearing loss used self-adjustment to select amplification gain and compression parameters in real time on a portable touch screen device while listening in quiet and noisy backgrounds. Adjustments to gain prescribed by the National Acoustics Laboratories' non-linear fitting procedure (NAL-NL2) showed large between-subject variability. Known listener characteristics (age, gender, hearing thresholds, hearing aid experience, acceptable noise level, and external ear characteristics) and listener engagement with the self-adjustment software were examined as potential predictors of this variability. Neither listener characteristics nor time spent adjusting gain were robust predictors of gain change from NAL-NL2. Listeners with less than 2 years of hearing aid experience and who also had better hearing thresholds tended to select less gain, relative to NAL-NL2, than experienced hearing aid users who had poorer thresholds. Listener factors explained no more than 10% of the between-subject variance in deviation from NAL-NL2, suggesting that modifying prescriptive fitting formulae based on the factors examined here would be unlikely to result in amplification parameters that are similar to user-customized settings. Self-adjustment typically took less than 3\u2009min, indicating that listeners could use comparable technology without a substantial time commitment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2331216519837124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,18]],"date-time":"2019-03-18T01:42:04Z","timestamp":1552873324000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Listener Factors Explain Little Variability in Self-Adjusted Hearing Aid Gain"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2177-3091","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trevor T.","family":"Perry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"},{"name":"Center for Applied and Translational Sensory Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peggy B.","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"},{"name":"Center for Applied and Translational Sensory Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dianne J.","family":"Van Tasell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2331216519837124","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1084713809352908"},{"key":"bibr2-2331216519837124","unstructured":"Barto\u0144, K.
