Abstract
This chapter outlines key findings from the Hearing Aids for Music (HAFM) project which explored how levels of hearing impairment and the use of hearing aid technology affect music listening. Results showed that whilst there are broad patterns in music listening experiences according to levels of deafness (e.g. mild, moderate, severe, profound), there are considerable individual differences within these groups, shaped by differing musical backgrounds, preferences, and modes and contexts of listening. Results highlight therefore how important it is for hearing healthcare practitioners to take into account listeners’ unique musical histories when addressing needs in clinic. Results provide valuable insights into technological and behavioural strategies that can be used to address challenges with music which the team have used to develop a set of resources for hearing aid users and audiologists to help manage the complexities and improve listening experiences.
