Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find an improvement in the central auditory processing of the rehabilitation group when compared to the hearing aid group by means of the method of analysis of the P1-N1-P2-N2-P3 wave complex latency averages of the Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential based on a finding of 5% or greater variation in pre- and post-intervention measurements—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is also expected to increase the percentage of speech recognition in noise in the hearing rehabilitation group compared to the hearing aid group, from a finding of a variation equal to or greater than 5% in the pre and post intervention measures—
