Observational analysis found increased self-efficacy in older adults with hearing aids, indicating enhanced outcomes.
Background: Self-efficacy is a main factor for non-compliant hearing-aid use (West & Smith, 2007). The measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-Efficacy for Hearing Aids questionnaire assesses the confidence that individuals have in their abilities to care for and to use their hearing aids in various listening situations. Method:The study included 55 older adult hearing aid users above 60 years of age who are using a hearing aid for more than 6 months, and subjects using either unilateral (33 subjects) or bilateral digital hearing aids (22 subjects) were included. Result: Cronbach's alpha coefficient demonstrated that the measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-Efficacy for Hearing Aids questionnaire- Malayalam version items can reliably differentiate the degree of auditory development in the children evaluated in this study. Conclusion: Using the Malayalam version of the questionnaire as a clinical tool should result in better hearing-aid outcomes for patients with hearing aids, including increased hearing-aid self-efficacy.
