Purpose: The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) to evaluate factors influencing hearing aid (HA) satisfaction; 2) to provide aprofile of HA satisfaction in daily life; and 3) to examine the reasons why people gave up using HAs. Materials and Methods: Data for 1148 respondents were statistically analyzed and reported. Results: In the study, age (β=-0.03, p<0.01), level of education (β=1.21, p<0.01), HA purchase price (β=1.50, p<0.01), bilateral amplification(β=1.23, p<0.01), wearing time (β=0.28, p<0.01), and HA fitting and fine tuning on a regular basis (β=1.71, p<0.01) significantlyinfluenced HA satisfaction. In addition, the authors observed that the most satisfactory factors were clarity of sound(53.5%), people’s trust in their HA (61.7%), and listening from a quiet environment (72.8%) in the domains of sound quality, HAfeatures, and listening environments, respectively. Finally, with multiple choices being possible, 65% of the 40 respondents whono longer used HAs answered that their HAs ended up in a drawer since the background noise was annoying and distracting. Conclusion: This study is significant in that it is a large-scale multi-center research to comprehensively examine the factors influencingHA satisfaction in South Korea. This data will provide helpful information that could lead to the successful rehabilitationof hearing loss with HAs.
