1.	Hearing Loss (Hearing Impairment) 01/01/2021 - "Technological developments to treat hearing loss with different types of hearing aids and auditory implants have improved the auditory perception of patients, particularly in highly complex listening conditions. " 01/01/2016 - "Contact between nursing homes and audiological specialists should be improved to best followup hearing loss and hearing aids." 10/01/2004 - "Though traditional hearing aids remain the mainstay of treatment for most uncorrectable hearing loss, partially implantable devices may offer solutions when standard therapy fails." 12/01/2010 - "Adult aural rehabilitation for hearing loss in a public health care facility, even without optimal hearing aid fittings, was effective in providing positive perceived outcomes comparable to similar studies in developed countries. " 01/01/2023 - "In meta-analysis, hearing aids for adult mild-to-moderate hearing loss compared to no treatment significantly improved HUI3-estimated QoL utility (3 studies; mean change=0.11; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.07 to 0.14) but did not impact EQ-5D-estimated QoL (3 studies; mean change=0.0; 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.04). "
2.	Tinnitus 01/01/2021 - "Hearing aids are highly effective for improving the intrusive and sense of control subscales in patients with tinnitus. " 01/01/2015 - "Hearing aid or tinnitus masker: which one is the best treatment for blast-induced tinnitus? " 05/01/1988 - "In most cases, the tinnitus of burnt-out Menière's disease can be relieved easily by the masking afforded through the use of hearing aids." 06/01/2017 - "Whereas hearing aids have long been considered effective for providing relief from tinnitus, controlled clinical studies evaluating this premise have been very limited. " 01/01/2015 - "It has not been proven, however, whether these "combination instruments" are more effective for tinnitus management than hearing aids alone. "
3.	Sensorineural Hearing Loss 04/18/2022 - "Cochlear implantation is considered the best treatment option for patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss for whom conventional hearing aids are insufficient. " 01/01/1987 - "These results indicate that a multichannel compression hearing aid can be very effective in some individuals with sensorineural hearing loss and is superior to a conventional hearing aid in most subjects." 04/01/2011 - "To assess whether an improvement in speech recognition conferred by Vibrant Soundbridge is more marked than that afforded by open-fit hearing aids in patients with sloping high frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). " 12/05/2013 - "The present study aims to generate high-quality preliminary evidence for the efficacy of working memory training for adult hearing aid users with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss who are existing hearing aid users. " 04/01/2011 - "The Esteem(®) device proved to offer beneficial results in subjects suffering from high frequency, severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and may be considered as an alternative procedure to conventional hearing aids (HAs) or electroacoustic stimulation (EAS) systems. "
4.	Deafness (Deaf Mutism) 01/01/2020 - "For those with single-sided deafness in whom cochlear implantation is contraindicated, bone-conduction implants when compared with no intervention provide clinically important functional gains in hearing thresholds (36-41 dB improvement in pure tone audiometry and 38-56 dB improvement in speech reception threshold, P < .05; GRADE: Moderate) and improve speech perception in noise (signal-to-noise ratio -2.0 vs. 0.6, P < .05 for active percutaneous devices; signal-to-noise ratio improved by 1.3-2.5 dB, P < .05 for active transcutaneous devices; GRADE: Moderate) and hearing-specific quality of life (Abbreviated Profile for Hearing Aid Benefit, ease of communication: 12%-53% vs. 24%-59%; background noise: 18%-48% vs. 33%-79%; listening in reverberant condition: 26%-55% vs. 41%-65%, P < .05 [active percutaneous devices]; ease of communication: 7% vs. 20%; background noise: 46% vs. 69%; listening in reverberant condition: 27% vs. 43%; P < .05 [active transcutaneous devices]; Children's Home Inventory for Listening Difficulties score 7.3 vs. 3.4; P < .05 [passive transcutaneous devices]; GRADE: Moderate). " 08/01/1996 - "This study has shown that in this preselected group of children with persistent OME and the predominant symptom of deafness, a hearing aid was an effective treatment for their deafness with high acceptance and compliance." 10/01/2016 - "Bone-anchored hearing aid has been shown to be effective in hearing rehabilitation for conductive loss or single-sided deafness. " 01/01/2014 - "The current trial was designed to assess the efficacy of cochlear implantation compared to a contra-lateral routing of signals hearing aid in restoring binaural hearing in adults with acquired single-sided deafness. " 01/01/2017 - "Efficacy of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids in Single-Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review."
5.	Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) 08/01/1978 - "The results of the evaluations were as follows: (1) six subjects became new hearing aid users; (2) two retained the aids they were already wearing; (3) one improved when the hearing aid was changed to the opposite ear; (4) one obtained a satisfactory replacement for an inadequate instrument; and (5) eight were unable to use an aid to advantage. " 09/01/2009 - "Although technical improvements and modifications have improved the fidelity of conventional aids, hearing aids still have many limitations. " 01/01/1982 - "Functional benefits were demonstrated by wearing the instruments 8 to 9 hr/day, use of the aids about 60% of the time in communicative situations, subjective benefit judgements of 5 to 9 on a 10-point scale, improved subjective sound localization, and improved clarity of speech with the hearing aids. " 02/01/1979 - "There are patients however, who can be helped by communication aids in addition to, or in place of hearing aids. " 01/01/1978 - "Evaluation studies with these aids show positive results but these results must be compared with the results that can be obtained with ordinary hearing aids and different types of auditory speech processing hearing aids.
