Remote microphone hearing aid systems drive beneficial neuroplastic change in the auditory systems of children with dyslexia and associated auditory processing weaknesses

This study provides strong evidence of beneficial neuroplastic change, measured through improvements in the electrophysiological responses of the brain to speech sounds, in children with auditory processing deficits, as a result of use of mild amplification with remote microphone hearing aid systems.
