This case study explores the hearing aid selection process of Beth Burlage, a 62-year-old woman with a history of moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss. A veteran hearing aid user, Beth expressed concerns about her worsening hearing and sought new ITC hearing aids, spending most of her day on the phone. After experiencing feedback issues with both Starkey’s and Resound’s top-tier digital aids, she received counseling and recommendations, ultimately deciding on Starkey hearing aids with financial support from BVR.
