| Summary, etc | Objectives: This study describes older adults’ experiences with a new hearing aid (HA) during the first 6 months after fitting. Design: In a<br/>longitudinally designed study, experiences and issues with HA use were assessed at a six-month follow-up appointment in individual<br/>structured interviews lasting 30 min. Associations between HA experiences and demographic factors, degree of hearing loss, and an<br/>objective measure of HA use (datalogging) were also examined. Study sample: 181HA recipients (60 years) attending a six-month<br/>follow-up appointment. Results: Participants reported an average of 1.4 issues (range 0–5, median¼1, mode¼1) with HA use, the most<br/>common pertaining to the earmold (26.5%), sound quality (26.0%) and handling (25.5%). Participants who reported at least one issue had<br/>fewer hours of use per day, but were not more likely to be non-users (530 min/day). Non-users (15.5%) were more likely to report no need<br/>for a HA and handling issues. Conclusions: Most older adults use their HAs regardless of reported issues. However, handling issues and no<br/>perceived need may interfere with HA usage among some adults with hearing impairment. Moreover, reported issues were associated with<br/>less frequent HA use. Follow-up support is thus important to address issues that may interfere with optimal use. |
