Game-like testing yields less biased hearing-aid results in children than formal tasks.

Evidence

Other tasks: Different types of tasks can be utilized depending on the topic being studied and on the subjects. For example, a psychoacoustic test can be implemented as an application similar to a computer game, where the scoring of the subject defines the result. A typical use of such a task is to test hearing aids with children, who typically cannot concentrate on mechanical tasks for long periods. The use of such applications can produce less biased results than the simple use of formal tasks. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 909
