• The IKEA effect refers to when an individual contributes to the construction of an item, and the perceived value of the item increases. We were interested in determining how increasing the involvement of the user in the construction of hearing aid settings may impact their perceived value of the changes made. Since an increase of involvement in the construction of a product is associated with an increased perception in value, it is worthwhile to examine whether this relationship could be applied in a clinical setting to increase client satisfaction.
