An assistive listening device improves hearing following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

This study demonstrates the marked benefit of ALDs to manage APD following aSAH, regardless of cognitive status. This finding has implications for the management of this common yet disabling deficit which impacts quality of life and employment. A further trial of ALDs in this patient group is needed to test whether these large, short-term benefits can be practically translated to the community for long-term benefit when used at home.
