Table 5.

Five reasons for preferring one hearing aid that were endorsed by at least 50% of the subjects who preferred one hearing aid.

  1. In quiet, I understand speech as well or better when I wear only one hearing aid.

  2. My voice sounds more natural/comfortable when I wear only one hearing aid.

  3. In noisy situations, I understand speech as well or better when I wear only one hearing aid.

  4. One hearing aid helps me as much as two.

  5. It's inconvenient to use the telephone when I wear two hearing aids.
