16 Activity: Hearing Loss Profiles

Suppose you tested the hearing of many, many hearing aid users and then asked them about how much difficulty they experience in different communication situations. Then you categorized their hearing thresholds into reasonably exclusive groups and average their self-report information.

Take a look at the hearing loss, then go look at the profile of people with that degree and configuration of hearing loss in terms of satisfaction, benefit, etc.
