Recall of Hearing Aid Orientation Content by First-Time Hearing Aid Users

Reese, Judith, Smith, Sherri L. 01 November 2006 (has links)
Recall of hearing aid orientation (HAO) information by new hearing aid users was assessed in this pilot study. Twenty-eight older adults completed a 25-item recall test of hearing aid knowledge that contained questions targeting information presented during a typical HAO. The mean recall score immediately following the HAO was 80%. The mean recall score at the hearing aid follow-up 4 weeks later was 77%, indicating that most of the information was retained. Recall scores were not significantly different based on time of testing. Although a substantial amount of hearing aid use and care information was reported at the hearing aid follow-up, some important information was forgotten by several participants. These preliminary results suggest the need for greater focus on certain important hearing aid use and care information during the HAO.
