Working memory capacity moderates the effect of hearing aid experience on phonological processing performance.

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
Purpose: Individuals with acquired hearing impairment often experience declines in phonological processing abilities, a phenomenon thought to be mediated by working memory capacity (WMC). However, the role of hearing aid use in this context remains underexplored. Therefore, in the current study, we aimed (1) to tease apart the effect of hearing impairment and hearing aid use on phonological processing performance, and (2) to investigate the effect of hearing aid use on phonological processing in more detail, while considering the involvement of WMC. Method: Using mixed effect models, we investigated rhyme judgment performance and its reliance on WMC among three groups of participants: a group of hearing aid users ( Results: We found that hearing impairment was associated with increased dependence of rhyme judgment performance on WMC regardless of the use of hearing aids. Furthermore, hearing aid use was overall positively associated with rhyme judgment performance, with this relationship influenced by variations in WMC. Conclusion: WMC influences the effectiveness of hearing aids for phonological processing. This role may result from working memory's involvement in the processing of output signals from hearing aids, as well as in the strategies hearing aid users implement to deal with phonological processing tasks.
