Hearing performance of individuals with minimal hearing loss in complex and realistic communication experiences.
Observational study in CoDAS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo analyze hearing performance and expectations regarding the use of hearing aids (HA) by participants with minimal hearing loss.
methodsThis research is a primary, observational, longitudinal and prospective study. Two questionnaires, the Speech Spatial Qualities Questionnaire (SSQ) and the Expected Consequences of Hearing Aid Ownership (ECHO), were used, respectively, to verify hearing performance in complex listening situations and expectations regarding the use of HA. The convenience sample consisted of adults aged 53 to 72.
resultsSSQ showed that, for hearing performance, greater difficulties were observed in unfavorable situations such as speech and speech-in-noise, followed by greater ease in locating the sound source and in the quality and naturalness of the sound. ECHO showed that, for the expectations regarding the use of the HA, the variables with significant correlation values were age x general expectation with HA and age x HA's positive aspects. No statistically significant association existed between performance scores in complex listening situations and the analyzed variables.
conclusionMinimal hearing loss can negatively influence everyday communicative situations, and the expectation of individuals with minimal hearing loss regarding the use of HA was shown to be high. In addition, the hearing performance of individuals in this study did not show correlations with the age, gender and education level of the sample.
