However, face-to-face AT has not been widely implemented due to its high cost and personnel requirements. Therefore, there is a need for the development of a patient-friendly, mobile-based AT program.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of hearing rehabilitation with our chat-based mobile AT (CMAT) program for speech perception performance among experienced hearing aid (HA) users.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A total of 42 adult patients with hearing loss who had worn bilateral HAs for more than 3 months were enrolled and randomly allocated to the AT or control group. In the AT group, CMAT was performed for 30 minutes a day for 2 months, while no intervention was provided in the control group. During the study, 2 patients from the AT group and 1 patient from the control group dropped out. At 0-, 1- and 2-month visits, results of hearing tests and speech perception tests, compliance, and questionnaires were prospectively collected and compared in the 2 groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The AT group (n=19) showed better improvement in word and sentence perception tests compared to the control group (n=20;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.04 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.03, respectively), while no significant difference was observed in phoneme and consonant perception tests (both\n P<\/jats:italic>\n >.05). All participants were able to use CMAT without any difficulties, and 85% (17\/20) of the AT group completed required training sessions. There were no changes in time or completion rate between the first and the second month of AT. No significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in questionnaire surveys.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n After using the CMAT program, word and sentence perception performance was significantly improved in experienced HA users. In addition, CMAT showed high compliance and adherence over the 2-month study period. Further investigations are needed to validate long-term efficacy in a larger population.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/50292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,8]],"date-time":"2024-02-08T09:01:28Z","timestamp":1707382888000},"page":"e50292-e50292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Hearing Rehabilitation With a Chat-Based Mobile Auditory Training Program in Experienced Hearing Aid Users: Prospective Randomized Controlled Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7728-1232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae Sang","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4828-1510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji Hyung","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3127-5827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeonji","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9398-4261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aynur","family":"Aliyeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8443-8581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae-Hyun","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1171-584X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaehyuk","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7614-9413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shi Nae","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"WHO: 1 in 4 people projected to have hearing problems by 2050.
