Significant differences (p < .05/15 = . 0033) on independent-sample t tests are shown in bold font. Significance was determined with no adjustment to p values for multiple comparisons across dependent measures. HA=hearing aid; SD = standard deviation; GHABP = Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile; HASS = hearing aid satisfaction survey; SADL = Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life; HAPI = Hearing Aid Performance Inventory; CST = Connected Speech Test; ANL = acceptable noise level.
