Financial Influences Linked to Hearing Aid Purchases.
Review in Seminars in hearing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
One of the factors that is presumed to influence the decision to obtain hearing aids is the cost of the product. The MarkeTrak 2025 surveyed individuals on a variety of factors about their decision to seek, or not seek, amplification, including the financial implications. The survey included 1,173 hearing aid owners, either prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) devices, and 1,782 non-owners of hearing aids. Key financial factors identified in the survey included differences in demographics between those choosing prescription hearing aids and OTC devices, the impact of insurance coverage on decision to pursue amplification, and the continued conflation of hearing care with hearing aids. Owners of prescription hearing aids tended to be older, white, and had higher income levels. Conversely, owners of OTC devices were younger, still working, included more non-white individuals, and had lower income levels. Non-owners are demographically similar to those individuals who chose OTC devices.
