Summary
Knowledge about how to manage hearing aids is an important factor in hearing aid success, but studies show that this knowledge ranges from good to poor, even among experienced adult hearing aid users. Information leaflets is a common tool in healthcare to give information with the purpose to increase theoretical knowledge and change behaviour, and illustrations in these leaflets can provide additional understanding for all kinds of patients. The primary aim of this aural rehabiliation study was to evaluate participants' knowledge about placement in a noisy environment, directional microphone and telecoil function at baseline and postintervention and assessing their perceptions of the benefits of an information leaflet. Additional aim was to investigate whether, an information leaflet with illustrations and accompanying text about hearing aid functions have additional effects on participants' knowledge compared to an information leaflet without illustrations.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Information leaflets with illustrations about hearing aid functions | The information leaflet contains written information with simple illustrations about placement in noisy environments, how to use a telecoil and about directional microphones function in hearing aids. The time spent presenting the information leaflet was approximately ten minutes. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Information leaflets with only text about hearing aid functions | The information leaflet contains written information about placement in noisy environments, how to use a telecoil and about directional microphones function in hearing aids. The time spent presenting the information leaflet was approximately ten minutes. |
