When using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to evaluate hearing problems in real life, typically only subjective speech understanding is assessed. This, however, is highly dependent on factors such as lip reading or speech context. Hence it could be beneficial to also include an objective speech intelligibility test in EMA. In this pilot study, objective speech intelligibility in everyday life was assessed with ten experienced hearing aid users over a period of 14 days as an optional task within EMA evaluating two hearing programs. We found that participants performed the objective speech intelligibility test on average in 94% of all EMA surveys in a variety of different acoustic situations.
