Evaluating the Impact of Sociodemographic Factors on the Quality of Pediatric Hearing Aid Fittings
A longitudinal study explored the effects of sociodemographic variables on the quality of pediatric hearing aid fitting outcomes. Results showed children who live in rural areas are at higher risk for disparities in the early hearing detection and intervention process and are more likely to experience suboptimal hearing aid fittings than children from more urban areas.
