“…Indeed, there are a number of tools available for monitoring patient outcomes following provision of a hearing aid which seek to determine how often a hearing aid is used, whether the patient has experienced any changes in speech understanding, or other changes to quality of life. The amount of time spent wearing a hearing aid has been reported to be positively associated with the benefit that the hearing aid provides (i.e., an improvement in speech understanding) and levels of patient satisfaction [9], [10]. However, Humes et al [11] performed a principal component analysis of seven dimensions of hearing aid outcome (i.e., subjective benefit, aided performance, usage, objective benefit, speech in noise, handicap benefit and judgements of sound quality) which indicated that hearing aid usage is a distinct and relatively independent dimension of hearing aid outcome.…”

ObjectiveA systematic review was conducted to identify and quality assess how studies published since 1999 have measured and reported the usage of hearing aids in older adults. The relationship between usage and other dimensions of hearing aid outcome, age and hearing loss are summarised.Data sourcesArticles were identified through systematic searches in PubMed/MEDLINE, The University of Nottingham Online Catalogue, Web of Science and through reference checking. Study eligibility criteria: (1) participants aged fifty years or over with sensori-neural hearing loss, (2) provision of an air conduction hearing aid, (3) inclusion of hearing aid usage measure(s) and (4) published between 1999 and 2011.ResultsOf the initial 1933 papers obtained from the searches, a total of 64 were found eligible for review and were quality assessed on six dimensions: study design, choice of outcome instruments, level of reporting (usage, age, and audiometry) and cross validation of usage measures. Five papers were rated as being of high quality (scoring 10–12), 35 papers were rated as being of moderate quality (scoring 7–9), 22 as low quality (scoring 4–6) and two as very low quality (scoring 0–2). Fifteen different methods were identified for assessing the usage of hearing aids.ConclusionsGenerally, the usage data reviewed was not well specified. There was a lack of consistency and robustness in the way that usage of hearing aids was assessed and categorised. There is a need for more standardised level of reporting of hearing aid usage data to further understand the relationship between usage and hearing aid outcomes.

“…However, adults with HFHL have demonstrated improved speech recognition and subjective benefit with hearing aids (Plyler & Fleck, 2006;Roup & Noe, 2009). Frequency-lowering hearing aids have recently been considered for individuals with HFHL to allow access to high-frequency information that would otherwise be unavailable (Glista et al, 2009).…”

“…During our bibliographic survey on SADL, we noticed that this questionnaire was very useful in different situations in order to learn about the degree of satisfaction of individuals with hearing loss, since the literature showed its efficacy to check the satisfaction of mothers of children using ISADs 26 , in elderly 27 , in order to determine the degree of satisfaction according to the type and model of hearing aid 28 and in users of cochlear implant 29 . Moreover, some studies tell us that the SADL may be considered a gold standard evaluation tool to learn about the satisfaction of ISAD users 11 .…”

There are some motivational processes associated with the use of an Individual Sound Amplification Device (ISAD): acceptance, benefit and satisfaction.Objective: To make a cultural adaptation of the SADL (Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life) questionnaire to use with the Brazilian population; to assess its reproducibility and to describe its results in patients fit with an ISAD. Materials and Methods:Clinical study. Translation and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire; translation from English into Portuguese and linguistic adaptation; review of the grammatical and idiomatic equivalence; evaluation of the inter and intra-researcher assessment. There were 30 ISAD users older than 18 years of age participating in the study (mean: 66.36 years); 19 men (63%); 11 women (37%). Results:The participants reported greater satisfaction (mean) for questions: 1 (6.35); 3 (6.85); 5 (6.10); 6 (6.80); 8 (6.33); 9 (6.80); 11 (6.16); 12 (6.93) and 15 (6.52). Less satisfaction: question 4 (3.16); 7 (3.41) and 13 (2.83). The comparison of each question with the first and second application of the questionnaire did not present statistically significant results, thus yielding good reproducibility. There was a greater satisfaction for subscales: Positive Effect (6.50) and Services and Costs (6.26) and less satisfaction for Negative Factors (4.73).

Hearing Aid Outcomes for Listeners With High-Frequency Hearing Loss

Abstract: Listeners with HF SNHL perceived benefit and satisfaction from amplification with CIC hearing aids. Individuals with SNHL limited to the high frequencies should be considered candidates for amplification.
