“…In the initial stages of this work, we examined the attitudes and beliefs of adults who had sought hearing help for the first time (Saunders et al, 2016). We determined that degree of hearing impairment was associated with the constructs of the TTM and the HBM, and that participation restriction, degree of hearing impairment, and the HBM constructs of perceived benefits, barriers and self-efficacy were significant predictors of stages of change.…”

Objective: To understand hearing behaviors of adults seeking help for the first time through the application of two models of health behavior change: the transtheoretical model and the health belief model. Design: The relationships between attitudes and beliefs were examined relative to hearing-aid uptake and outcomes six months later. Study sample: One hundred and sixty adults completed the University of Rhode Island change assessment (targeting the transtheoretical model), and the hearing beliefs questionnaire (targeting the health belief model), as well as the hearing handicap inventory and the psychosocial impact of hearing loss scale, within two months of an initial hearing assessment. Six months later, participants completed these same questionnaires, while those who had taken up hearing aids also completed hearing-aid outcome questionnaires. Results: (1) Attitudes and beliefs were associated with future hearing-aid uptake, and were effective at modeling this behavior; (2) attitudes and beliefs changed following behavior change, and (3) attitudes and beliefs following behavior change were better predictors of hearing-aid outcomes than pre-behavior change attitudes and beliefs. Conclusion: A counseling-based intervention targeting the attitudes and beliefs assessed by the transtheoretical model and the health belief model has the potential to increase uptake of hearing health care.

“…The model of hearing health belief can be applied in testing the possibility of changing behavior of subjects related to hearing health, as well as predicting the future of hearing conditions (Pronk et al 2017). Saunders et al (2016) pointed out that people with better hearing have higher perceived levels of sensitivity, severity, and benefits that are important for hearing loss prevention.…”

“…Combining the two models, Saunders et al found that increasing self-efficacy, conveying perceived benefit, and providing a cue to action were critical constructs and should be incorporated into interventions. 24 Self-efficacy is a commonly targeted component in improving the uptake of a given health behavior, particularly when the behavior includes use of technology by an older adult, such as hearing aids, and can be enhanced through training. 25,26 Beyond self-efficacy, social support is associated with increased help-seeking, where significant others can act as a cue to action, and has also been associated with greater hearing aid satisfaction.…”

Purpose of Review To provide an update on the recent research and policy developments affecting the current and future care of the 23 million older Americans with untreated hearing loss. Recent Findings Increasing evidence supports the association of age-related hearing loss with significant negative outcomes that affect the ability of older adults to age well. Despite an evolving understanding of the role hearing loss plays in the well-being and vitality of older adults, the vast majority of older adults go untreated and hearing healthcare disparities exist. Recent work to understand the multitude of factors involved in hearing healthcare decisions, coupled with innovative approaches and technology to deliver hearing care, aim to provide more older adults with equal access to the tools needed to age well. Most importantly, significant national efforts and policy proposals substantiate these efforts, and will be reviewed. Summary Age-related hearing loss is a critical public health issue that affects almost all older adults. Through the application of novel approaches and perspectives, the delivery of hearing healthcare for older adults is evolving in order to provide more affordable and accessible care. Accompanying policy efforts provide the necessary support needed to increase access to care significantly.
