“…In addition, Colombia has a higher proportion of older adult women compared with men (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas, 2005). This population faces important social and economic disadvantages, for instance, only 10% of the older adult population of Bogotá receives a retirement pension, and 43% have suffered from internal displacement at some point in their lives (Cano et al, 2014). Moreover, the average prevalence of disability among this group is 53% (45.9% in males and 58.3% in females), 12% of the older adult population lives alone, and 7.8% lives in conditions of extreme poverty (Cano et al, 2014).…”

The main goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between levels of cognitive social capital and health related quality of life (HRQOL). A multilevel, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2007 in Bogotá Colombia. A total of 1,907 older adults completed the Spanish version of the SF-8 in order to assess HRQOL. Cognitive dimension of social capital was assessed. Hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to determine the associations between social capital variables and HRQOL. Only 20% to 25% of the population reported trust in others and shared values. Ninety three percent reported that people in their neighborhood would try to take advantage of them if given a chance. Higher social capital indicators were positively associated with the mental and physical dimension of HRQOL. Results from this study support evidence on the disintegration of the Colombian society, which may be influenced by high levels of social inequality.

“…Hearing impairment has commonly been associated with functional disability, quality of life deterioration, and emotional di culties (6, 7). In Colombia, a higher prevalence of hearing loss has been described in illiterate adults and in adults who belonged to lower socioeconomic status (5). To date, only one study in an elderly Colombian population has described a signi cant impairment in the quality of life of adults with hearing loss using the EuroQoL-Visual Analogue Scale, EQ-VAS (5).…”

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common auditory deficit in older adults and may lead to quality-of-life deterioration. However, few studies have been performed in low/middle-income countries, particularly in Latin America. This study aimed to assess the audiological benefit, quality of life, and factors associated with functional gain in elderly hearing aid users in the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá and UNIMEQ-ORL, two otology referral centers in Colombia. Design: Pre-post study that included hearing aid users at the otology consult of the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá and UNIMEQ-ORL between June 2017 and December 2020. Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GIB) and Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) questionnaires were applied. Audiometric (0,5kHz to 4kHz) and logoaudiometric results were collected. Results: A total of 75 participants (132 ears) were included. The mean age was 70.73 years (SD: 12.66). The median hearing aid use in years was 0.71 (IQR: 0.64-0.90). Mean change in logoaudiometry was -26.53dB (95%CI: -28.09, -24.97; p<0.001), in functional gain was -21.75dB (-23.81, -19.68; p<0.001). The mean changes in the APHAB domains were Ease of Communication: -37.85 (95%CI: -43.01; -32.7), Background Noise: -3.51 (-6.06; -0.95), and Aversiveness of Sounds: -6.9 (-2.04; 11.77). The GBI assessment of quality of life showed improvement in 100% of the population after the use of hearing aids. The number of years of hearing aids use was associated with functional gain. Conclusion: The number of years of hearing aids use may impact on the functional gain in these populations. A significant clinical benefit was found in terms of quality of life, communication, and reverberation related to the use of hearing aids. Access to hearing aids should be granted, and public health strategies are needed to grant the access to hearing rehabilitation in these populations. Trial registration: Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá (Protocol Number: CCEI-12666-2020)

“…De acuerdo a lo señalado por diversos estudios, actualmente Chile se catalogaría como un país envejecido gracias al incremento de la población de personas adultas mayores, estimándose de este modo que para el año 2020 un 20% de la población nacional tendría una edad superior a 60 años (1) . Esto trae aparejada la aparición de enfermedades concomitantes asociadas a la edad, entre ellas las dificultades auditivas, que influyen notoriamente en la calidad de vida (2) . A lo anterior se suma que las personas mayores de 65 años, se desenvuelven en una etapa caracterizada por constantes deficiencias funcionales de todo tipo debido a cambios biológicos, psicológicos y sociales, que están relacionadas con aspectos intrínsecos y extrínsecos propios de cada individuo (3) .…”

RESUMEN Objetivo Describir los elementos que interfieren en el uso de audífonos en adultos mayores beneficiarios del operativo de entrega de audífonos de un Centro de Salud en Chile. Método Estudio descriptivo con diseño de corte transversal en 24 usuarios beneficiarios, con un cuestionario de preguntas cerradas de elaboración propia. Resultados Se reporta un 75% de adherencia al uso de audífonos. Hubo una diferencia de 3.8 horas en el uso entre adherentes y no adherentes y en la frecuencia de utilización. Los principales motivos de no uso corresponden con incomodidad por molde y ruidos del audífono. Conclusión Es necesario entregar educación de calidad durante el proceso de implementación, así como también abordar dificultades técnicas relacionadas al ajuste auricular y calibración del audífono, ya que esto podría aumentar la adherencia a su uso.
