AbstractIn the field of audiology, change is inevitable: changes in technologies with hearing devices, changes in consumer knowledge, and changes in consumer-driven solutions. With these changes, the audiologist must adapt to meet the needs of the consumer. There are potential predictors that the audiologist could use to determine who is more likely to pursue and use amplification; by using these data, the audiologists may increase their productivity and increase patient satisfaction. The goal of this article is to investigate the MarkeTrak 10 (MT10) data to determine the trends in adoption and use of hearing aids as well as examine predictive factors that can be used to determine hearing aid adoption.

Objective. The aim of the study is to identify the most significant factors influencing the audio-verbal rehabilitation outcomes in preschool children.Methods. The study included 104 children, 3–7 years of age, with hearing loss who underwent course of audioverbal rehabilitation in audiology center: 50 children after cochlear implantation, 51 children with hearing aids, 3 children without hearing care. The following data was collected at the beginning of the course: gender, type and degree of hearing loss, comorbidities, method and age of hearing care, family structure, preschool organization type. The scale of social and psychological diagnostics was filled in. The dynamics of indicators were estimated at the end of the course. The overall result was rated as high, good, medium or low. Correlations between clinical, audiological, social, psychological data and different rehabilitation outcomes were estimated.Results. Degree and type of hearing loss, method of hearing care, gender, age, and social aspects do not affect the rehabilitation outcomes. Hearing aid was performed before 3 years of age in 67% of children, and after 3 years of age in 33% of children in the group with high and good results. Hearing aid was performed after 3 years of age in 61% of children, and before 3 years of age in 39% of children in the group with medium and low results (p < 0.01). Burdened anamnesis and comorbidity was determined in 28% of children with high/good outcomes and in 59% of children with medium/low outcomes (p < 0.01). Children with medium results rarely have previous audiology therapy, 43.8% of cases (p < 0.01). Children with medium and low outcomes have statistically worse score according to the scale of social and psychological diagnostics (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively).Conclusion. High results of audio-verbal rehabilitation in preschool children can be predicted by the age of primary hearing care (before 3 years of age), absence of comorbidities, previous audiology therapy, score at the scale of social and psychological diagnostics less than 17 points.

Children With Hearing Loss

PurposeThis pilot study examined factors influencing classroom hearing aid use in school-age children with hearing loss.MethodThe research team visited classrooms of 38 children with mild-to-moderate hearing loss (Grades 1–7) on 2 typical school days, twice per day, to document hearing aid use. In addition, parents reported the number of hours their children used hearing aids at school.ResultsNearly 24% of children were observed not wearing their hearing aids in the classroom on either observation day. Both grade level and degree of hearing loss appeared to affect hearing aid use. Children in Grades 5–7 and those with milder hearing losses were less likely to wear hearing aids. Overall, parents accurately reported classroom hearing aid use; however, those with children in Grades 5–7 were less accurate than those with children in earlier grades.ConclusionsThese preliminary results suggest that children with milder hearing loss and those in Grades 5–7 are at increased risk for reduced hearing aid use in the classroom. Also, parents of school-age children in these later grades are less accurate reporters of classroom hearing aid use compared to parents of children in earlier grades.

In our paper we would like to emphasize the complexity of hearing aid prescription process. It is connected to a series of factors which impact the choice of hearing aid; type of hearing loss, degree of hearing loss according to the average hearing threshold expressed within the range from 500 Hz to 4000 Hz on a tonal audiogram, audiometric curve configuration, speech discrimination ability, patients? age at which the hearing impairment occurred, time elapsed between the occurrence of hearing impairment and prescription of a hearing aid, patients? age, physical and mental health and their cognitive function, anatomical characteristics of the auricle and external auditory canal, patient and parent motivation, cosmetic factors, financial abilities, cooperation with hearing aids manufacturers. This paper is important for everyday practice and can be used as a kind of guideline to the hearing aid prescription process.
