“…These pieces of information corroborate with the results obtained and discussed before, regarding the users´ performance in the use, manipulation and cleaning of the HA/earmold. Another fact that confirms the results found by the studies mentioned (7,10,12,26) is what two participants reported about not knowing the meaning of the "beep" until watching the DVD and what other two participants reported, pointing the "cotton bud" as the correct way of dealing with the excess of wax in the external auditory canal, also mentioning, that the DVD had such information and emphasized the importance of looking for a otorhinolaryngologist to solve this problem.…”

“…Although, literature mentions that besides the level of information retained by the individuals, in the guidance process, be low compared with the level of information provided (10,12,26) , a lot of information is remembered incorrectly (7) . These pieces of information corroborate with the results obtained and discussed before, regarding the users´ performance in the use, manipulation and cleaning of the HA/earmold.…”

“…It is important to mention that the process of audiological guidance concerning the use, care and manipulation of the HA/earmold was planned and followed the literature (10) ; it was adapted to the specificities of the cases that were attended. Besides that, the training with the participants about the HA and the earmold, during the guidance process, occurred so that the users from both groups learned, from the first moment, to deal with this amplification device.…”

“…The way such information is presented is essential not only for the assimilation but also for the understanding of the individual (4,7,8) . This strategy shows to be important because the time spent to provide the information and the guidance about the use, cares and manipulation of the HA is 42 minutes (9) ; this time can be smaller, about 15 and 20 minutes (10) . The fact gets even more worrying with the knowledge that the understanding of the information provided can become even more difficult for new users of HA, mainly for those who have the age factor associated with deficits in the working memory (11) .…”

Purpose: To verify the effectiveness of the DVD "Knowing and Learning about my Hearing Aid" as a tool in the hearing aid (HA) adaptation process in the elderly. Methods: A total of 27 individuals, divided in two groups, participated in this study: a control group, which received the audiological guidance and the technical instruction manual accompanying the adapted behind-the-ear hearing aids; and an experimental group, which received the same guidance as the control group, plus the DVD.The effectiveness of the DVD was measured through a specific tool that evaluates the skills to manipulate the HA, the Practical Hearing Aid Skills Test, using descriptive statistics analysis and the non-parametric

T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S A B S T R A C TThis is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows:To evaluate the effectiveness of hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss in adults who have been prescribed at least one hearing aid. B A C K G R O U N D Description of the conditionHearing loss is the most prevalent sensory deficit (Mathers 2000); it represents a major public health issue with substantial economical and societal costs. Untreated, adult hearing loss results in communication difficulties that can lead to social isolation and withdrawal, depression and reduced quality of life (Davis 2007). Hearing loss is also associated with an increased risk of dementia (Lin 2011). According to the World Health Organization hearing loss is the 13th most common global disease burden and the third leading cause of years living with disease (WHO 2008). Disabling hearing loss is estimated to affect 360 million persons globally (5.3% of the world's population) (WHO 2012a). The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age (Akeroyd 2014), and given the ageing society it is predicted that by 2030 adult-onset hearing loss will be the seventh largest disease burden, above diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (WHO 2008). Epidemiological data suggest that the majority of cases of hearing loss in adults are sensorineural (92%) and bilateral (94.8%) (Cruickshanks 1998). There are numerous definitions of hearing loss across different countries and organisations (Timmer 2015). In this review, hearing loss is defined according to pure-tone thresholds averaged across 0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz and 4.0 kHz in the better-hearing ear, consistent with the World Health Organization grades of hearing impairment (Mathers 2000). The majority of hearing losses (92%) are those that are defined as mild or moderate (AoHL 2015). Mild (or slight) hearing loss is indicated as 26 to 40 dB hearing level (HL) and described as the ability to hear and repeat words spoken in a normal voice at one metre. Moderate hearing loss is indicated as 41 to 60 dB HL and described as the ability to hear and repeat words using a raised voice at one metre (Mathers 2000). In addition to a loss of hearing sensitivity, there may be additional sensory deficits of temporal and spectral pro-
