“…13,14 This research is particularly timely as the elderly hearing-impaired population who are potential hearing aid candidates is known to be growing at a rate of 1% per annum. 16,17 There is also concern about the appropriateness of current service models, where demand can vary considerably owing to the huge unmet need and varying policy on referral.…”

“…Early results from two of the three studies have been reported previously. 13,14,[63][64][65] As a result of the intervention, hearing aid possession in these population groups increased three-fold (Table 39). …”

“…7,8 In particular, it has been suggested that primary care services could be used to screen for hearing impairment, possibly alongside other screening interventions. [9][10][11][12] Several studies in the UK have shown that it is possible to screen and fit hearing aids to hearingimpaired people earlier than they currently present [13][14][15] However, no study has yet estimated in the UK population the extent to which screening would successfully identify those who may benefit from hearing aids and the factors that may be important in determining the extent of benefit.…”

HTAAcceptability, benefit and costs of early screening for hearing disability: a study of potential screening tests and models NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for re...

“…Lack of motivation because of fear of stigmatisation, low expectations of benefit, or failure to accept there is a problem remain significant obstacles 22. Stephens et al showed that despite the fact that 50% of those aged 50–65 in two villages in South Wales had a hearing disability only 7% had a hearing aid 23. Clinicians have an important role in identifying those who would benefit from a hearing aid and emphasising the benefits of its use.…”

“…Studies in the United Kingdom showed that screening can triple hearing aid ownership among middle-aged adults [16,17]. The only randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of screening so far showed that screening with an objective measurement instrument can almost double the 1-year incidence of hearing aid use [18].…”
