MMA: Meniere Disease and Hearing Aids
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with unilateral Meniere Disease often a distortion that causes difficulties to provide hearing aids to these patients. Those patients have two main problems: disorders in noise comprehension due to interaural threshold difference and increase in the distortion during dizziness crisis.
Due to these problems, some people cannot be fitting with hearing aids because the compression needed is too high or the discomfort in noise is not bearable for patients.
Our aim is to evaluate and to propose a way to adjust hearing aids to restore binaural hearing with comfort.
