简要总结
The purpose of the study is to see if a commercially available hearing assistance device called the PockeTalker has an effect on performance on cognitive (memory and thinking) tests among skilled nursing facility residents.
Investigators are asking residents to perform cognitive tests with and without hearing assistance equipment known as PockeTalkers. This study will be conducted at one urban Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) with the goal of understanding the extent to which hearing impairment impacts commonly used cognitive impairment measures for clinical assessment. Cognitive performance will be measured, cerumen occlusion, and perceived hearing.

主要结局
Measure of Cognitive function using Mini-Cog
时间窗: 20 Minutes
three-item recall and a clock draw test. 24 Medical assistants have been trained and have employed this test successfully in primary care practices. The Mini-Cog has test characteristics that are comparable to any other brief instrument and exceeds most in accuracy or predictive quality.
Perceived Hearing measured by Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly-Screening Version (HHIE)
时间窗: 20 Minutes
HHIE-S is a valid, robust test for identifying hearing-impaired elderly, irrespective of the audiometric definition used to finally diagnose hearing difficulties.
