研究概览
简要总结
The study will assess the impact of a hearing aid self-management intervention in first time hearing aid users compared to standard hearing aid self-management. Namely, the C2Hear multimedia videos, or Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) will be used as the self-management intervention. A departmental hearing aid booklet (standard clinical care) will be used as the control intervention.
The study will determine the role of these RLOs in self-efficacy for hearing aid(s), hearing aid knowledge and readiness for action compared with standard hearing aid self-management education (hearing aid booklet) in groups of first time hearing aid users. Both groups will receive the education at the earliest audiology appointment (hearing assessment), helping to distinguish any impact of earlier education delivery.

Objectives:
Primary research question:
- Does the early delivery of interactive hearing aid self-management education improve self-efficacy for hearing aid(s) compared with standard care in first-time hearing aid users?

研究组 & 干预措施
C2Hear RLOs
C2Hear RLOs (https://www.youtube.com/C2HearOnline): nine (custom earmould) or eight (open fit hearing aid) multi-media learning clips covering practical and psychosocial components of owning a hearing aid, alongside user testimonials (n= 7). Participants asked to watch all relevant to their prospective hearing aid coupling (custom earmould or open fit), with no limit on number of views. A paper diary documented usage during the study duration.
干预措施: C2Hear RLOs (Behavioral)
Printed hearing aid booklet
A 32-page printed A5 colour booklet, designed and written by local Audiology staff, supplied to all prospective hearing aid owners at the study centre as standard care. Same booklet supplied irrespective of hearing aid style (custom/open fit). All content conveyed via text and supporting pictures only. Participants assigned to the placebo comparator were asked to read the booklet once. A paper diary documented usage during the study duration.
干预措施: Printed hearing aid booklet (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-efficacy for Hearing Aids score (West and Smith, 2007)
时间窗: Change from Baseline self-efficacy for hearing aids up to 8 weeks
Self-reported self-efficacy for hearing aid(s) measured across four-subscales (Basic/advanced handling, adjustment to hearing aids and aided listening). Participants rank confidence in the tasks/behaviours described using an 11-point scale (0%=cannot do this, to 100%=certain I can do this).
次要结局
- Hearing aid self-efficacy using Ida Motivational Line Tools (Ida Institute, 2013)(Change from Baseline self-efficacy for hearing aids up to 8 weeks)
- Readiness for hearing rehabilitation (action); Ida Motivational Line Tools Question 1 (Ida Institute, 2013)(Change from Baseline readiness up to 8 weeks)
- Hearing Aid and Communication Knowledge (HACK: Ferguson et al., 2015)(Up to 8 weeks)
