A systematic review of the literature addressed the question "Is there evidence of a good correlation between unaided prefitting speech measures and aided satisfaction on self-report measures?" This restricted question is only one of several possible questions related to speech
measures and hearing aid fittings. The levels of evidence that were accepted included meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and nonrandomized intervention studies. Nearly 300 articles and book chapters were identified during the initial search; 220 were eliminated on the basis of their
abstracts; and 80 papers and book chapters were reviewed in depth. Five studies met the criteria set forth in this review. No significant correlation between traditional unaided prefitting speech measures and aided satisfaction was found in any of the five studies. One of the studies showed
a correlation between the results of a prefitting speech-in-noise test and self-reported aided satisfaction. Una revisión sistemática de la literatura buscó respuesta a la pregunta "¿Existe evidencia de una buena correlación entre las mediciones de lenguaje
no amplificado antes de la adaptación y las mediciones auto-reportadas de satisfacción con la amplificación?" Esta pregunta restringida es sólo una de las varias posibles preguntas que se relacionan con mediciones de lenguaje y la adaptación de auxiliares
auditivos. Los niveles de evidencia que se aceptaron incluyeron meta-análisis, estudios aleatorios controlados, y estudios de intervención no aleatorios. Se identificaron alrededor de 300 artículos y capítulos de libros durante la búsqueda inicial; 220 fueron
eliminados con base en sus sumarios; y 80 artículos y capítulos se revisaron a profundidad. Cinco estudios cumplieron los criterios establecidos en esta revisión. No se encontró una correlación significativa entre las mediciones de lenguaje no amplificado
antes de la adaptación y la satisfacción en la amplificación en ninguno de los cinco estudios. Uno de ellos mostró una correlación entre los resultados de una prueba de lenguaje en ruido previa a la adaptación y el auto-reporte de satisfacción
con dicha amplificación.
