Hearing aid amplification:
1) The effects of amplification signal processing on speech acoustics and speech intelligibility
2) Improved methods of hearing aid verification and validation
3) Use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) for assessing hearing aid outcomes

Patient/provider communication:
1) Best practices for communication in health care
2) Communication in hearing health care
3) Supporting primary care providers in being champions of hearing health care for their patients
