简要总结
Many individuals with hearing loss do not receive adequate hearing healthcare. Given their close and long-term relationships with patients, primary care providers (PCPs) could play a vital role in improving access to hearing healthcare. Unfortunately, hearing loss is often underdiagnosed in primary care settings, because hearing screening is not a routine part of primary care visits, and the responsibility often falls on the patient or family to recognize and address the issue. The investigators propose to pilot test the use of text message reminders to encourage elderly patients to discuss hearing assessment with there PCPs. The study objectives are to: 1) design an automated text-messaging reminder system; 2) assess the feasibility of deploying the intervention in a clinical trial setting; and 3) evaluate whether the intervention increases willingness to seek hearing healthcare.

结局指标
主要结局
Likelihood of patient-physician discussion of hearing loss or hearing assessment
时间窗: 3 months after enrollment
Participant-reported rating of the likelihood of discussing hearing assessment with their PCP in the next 6 months. Likelihood will be assessed on an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Score range: 0 to 10 (0 = not likely, 10 = very likely). Participants who have already discussed hearing assessment with their PCP will be assigned a score of 10.
次要结局
- Likelihood of obtaining audiogram(3 months after enrollment)
- Likelihood of obtaining hearing aids(3 months after enrollment)
