Study Summary
Hearing loss is the second most prevalent service-connected disability among Veterans. Hearing aids are the most common technological intervention for hearing loss. The VA, therefore, spends a considerable amount of money on them. Despite these expenditures, there are some Veterans who do not use their hearing aids successfully. Research has demonstrated that this inconsistent use may be related to a patient's inability to effectively take care of, and use, hearing aids. The proposed investigation will compare the effectiveness of three different tools for enhancing the educational efforts (hearing-aid orientation) typically provided by clinical audiologists when dispensing hearing aids. Each of these educational tools were developed using established methods for improving patient-provider communication. The investigators hypothesize that the use of these tools will result in better hearing-aid outcomes for Veteran patients than using the current standard-of-care procedures.
