New manuscript out today in JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery on the cost effectiveness of over-the-counter hearing aids! Analysis is led by Ethan Borre using our DeciBHAL decision modeling framework

And if you’re *really* interested, you can listen to the podcast of the article where we reviewed findings and I stumbled through an overview of cost-effectiveness and decision modeling 😁 luckily Gillian Sanders Schmidler was also there to help!!
