The influence of hearing loss and hearing aid use on experienced emotion in everyday listening situations.
Article in Clinical rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
ObjectiveTo address the extent to which the emotional experience of everyday listening situations is impacted by hearing loss and hearing aid use.DesignAn exploratory prospective study with an observation arm and an intervention arm utilising smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment over 10 days. A hearing loss group was asked to wear and not wear their hearing aids on alternate days. A normal hearing group completed the surveys without hearing aids.SettingRemote study gathering data during daily life.ParticipantsTwenty-six experienced hearing aid users with hearing loss and twenty participants with normal hearing thresholds.InterventionRotating hearing aid use on alternate days in the hearing loss group.Main measuresParticipants reported on experienced emotions (valence, arousal and discrete emotion) in listening activities at random points throughout the day, as well as at baseline for related socioemotional variables.ResultsParticipants with hearing loss reported similar valence and arousal to the normal hearing group when wearing their hearing aids, but significantly lower when not wearing hearing aids. Wearing (versus not wearing) hearing aids showed a significant beneficial effect on valence and arousal. Discrete emotions were more negative when not wearing hearing aids. End-of-day reports of valence were also more negative. There was no significant effect of listening situation type.ConclusionsUnaided hearing loss was associated with a negative impact on emotions in listening situations. Hearing aids can restore the emotions experienced in everyday listening situations. The results highlight the importance of socioemotional well-being as a factor and outcome in audiological rehabilitation.
