Abstract: Our team has reviewed all of the studies related to hearing aids and amplification published in 2020. New additions to the evidence-base covering Pre-fitting Measures, Signal Processing and Features, Verification, Pediatrics, and Real World Outcomes will be reviewed with an eye on what is useful to you and your patients. Specifically, studies that provide data that can be used Monday morning have been selected for presentation in this session. If you haven’t kept up with the journals or just want our take on what was important in 2020 in the hearing aid literature, come join us!

Learning Objectives:

Identify two studies that provide information they can use in their clinic immediately.
List two real world outcomes impacted by hearing aid fitting that follows best-practices.
Describe updated signal processing and/or features evaluated in current amplification strategies.
