[The results of hearing aid usage in a group of patients older than 65 years (author's transl)].
Two groups of 50 patients were randomized from patients who came to have their hearing aid fitting controlled. One group (A) had a mean age of 27.6 years with a standard deviation of +/- 12.8 years. The second group (B) had a mean age of 75.06 years with a standard deviation of 5.7 years. Our statistical analysis of these patients showed that results of hearing aid instrumentation were comparable in both groups. The investigation has revealed that hearing aid fitting should not be contraindicated because of older age.
