N2  - The purpose of the present study was to determine if objective and subjective measures when comparing analog and digital hearing aids would correlate even if the patient reported good satisfaction on individual testing. The study included 21 hearing-impaired individuals with bilateral symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). All patients had bilateral moderate to severe SNHL, and were divided according to previous experience of Hearing aid use into experienced (Group {uF049}) and non-experienced (Group {uF050}) hearing aid users where Group {uF049} paticipants were already fitted with analog and digitally programmable Hearing aids and both groups were fitted with the new digital Hearing aid (Inizia 3CPX). Objective testing (Speech in Noise, Articulation Index) and subjective evaluation (APHAB) were done. No statistically significant correlation between objective and subjective tasks for both hearing aids was found although patients showed statistically significant better results for the new hearing aid. Future research that focuses on patient rating criteria can lead to better understanding of hearing aid effectiveness
