Implication

Retrospective study examines hearing aid uptake and demographic factors influencing trial participation.

Key Points

  • Hearing aid adoption was higher among participants who underwent hearing aid trials compared to those who only received recommendations.
  • About 2.89% of individuals with hearing loss obtained hearing aids, with older adults more likely to try them based on better speech recognition.
  • A multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that older age could decrease the odds of obtaining hearing aids despite increased trial participation.
  • Demographic and audiometric factors influenced both trial participation and regular usage of hearing aids, showing mixed outcomes for procurement.
