HA outcome is a multi-dimensional construct. In this study, WRS had the greatest influence on HA outcomes and seemed to be a primary predictor. Thus, HA owners with a higher WRS before HA fitting may indicate better satisfaction. Daily use time, HA price, and patient age also made significant contributions to HA outcomes and should be considered in clinical practice to facilitate auditory rehabilitation.
