At two stages in the aural rehabilitation process, just before HA fitting and after an average 3-month HA adjustment period, the participants used a smartphone-based EMA system for 3 to 4\u2009days. A questionnaire app allowed for the description of the environmental context as well as assessments of various hearing-related dimensions and of well-being. In total, 2,042 surveys were collected. The main objectives of the analysis were threefold: First, describing the \u201cauditory reality\u201d of future and experienced HA users; second, examining the effects of HA fitting for individual participants, as well as for the subgroup of first-time HA-users; and third, reviewing whether the EMA data collected in the unaided condition predicted who ultimately decided for or against permanent HA use. The participants reported hearing-related disabilities across the full range of daily listening tasks, but communication events took the largest share. The effect of the HA intervention was small in experienced HA users. Generally, much larger changes and larger interindividual differences were observed in first-time compared with experienced HA users in all hearing-related dimensions. Changes were not correlated with hearing loss or with the duration of the HA adjustment period. EMA data collected in the unaided condition did not predict the cancelation of HA fitting. The study showed that EMA is feasible in a general population of HA candidates for establishing individual and multidimensional profiles of real-life hearing experiences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2331216521990288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,2]],"date-time":"2021-04-02T02:19:38Z","timestamp":1617329978000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Individual Hearing Aid Benefit in Real Life Evaluated Using Ecological Momentary Assessment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7346-7950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petra","family":"von Gablenz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade University of Applied Sciences and Cluster of Excellence \u201cHearing4all,\u201d Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrik","family":"Kowalk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade University of Applied Sciences and Cluster of Excellence \u201cHearing4all,\u201d Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg","family":"Bitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade University of Applied Sciences and Cluster of Excellence \u201cHearing4all,\u201d Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Meis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"H\u00f6rzentrum Oldenburg GmbH, Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inga","family":"Holube","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade University of Applied Sciences and Cluster of Excellence \u201cHearing4all,\u201d Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2331216521990288","unstructured":"Andersen L.
