插入增益與目標增益差異與智利老年人助聽器棄用有關

// Discrepancies between insertion and target gain are associated with hearing aid abandonment in Chilean older adults

本研究分析455名智利老年聽損者中，助聽器實際增益與目標增益差異對放棄使用風險的影響｜每差異1分貝，放棄風險提升10%，而多達4次追蹤可改善增益匹配並降低放棄率｜結果強調精準調整與定期追蹤對提升助聽器依從性及優化公共衛生資源的重要性。

// This study examined how differences between hearing aid insertion gain and target gain affect the risk of device abandonment in 455 Chilean users with age-related hearing loss. Using hearing aid analyzers and self-reports, researchers found that greater discrepancies in gain increased the likelihood of abandonment, with each 1 dB difference raising risk by 10%. Attending up to four follow-up appointments improved gain alignment and reduced abandonment. The findings highlight the importance of precise fitting and regular follow-up to improve hearing aid adherence and optimize public health resources.
