Abstract: Understanding the needs of teens who are deaf or hard of hearing in their different communication situations is crucial to promoting their engagement and meaningful participation. A mixed methods, clinical study was completed exploring the experiences of teens who wear Oticon Real hearing aids. Domains investigated included communication access in outdoor listening environments, managing sudden transient loud sounds, and listening fatigue. Findings from the study will be shared.

Learning Objectives:

  • 1. Define meaningful participation.
  • 2. Describe the communication experiences of teens with Oticon Real.
  • 3. Describe the impact Oticon Real had on listening-related fatigue in teens with hearing loss.
