Socioeconomic Position and Health-Seeking Behavior for Hearing Loss Among Older Adults in England

Objective. To examine whether socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with progression in the health-seeking process for hearing loss. Method. Logistic regression of data from a cross-sectional survey representative of noninstitutionalized, 50 years and older population of England (ELSA wave 2, 2004). Using self-reported hearing difficulty as starting point, we examined the association between SEP and health-seeking behaviors in 6 stages leading to hearing aid acquisition and use. Results. Higher SEP was associated with lower odds of self-reported hearing difficulty, adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.87 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83–0.91, p < .001). There was marginal negative association between higher SEP and receiving hearing aid recommendation (adjusted OR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.78–0.99, p = .05). SEP was not associated with any other stage of health-seeking behavior. Discussion. Among the noninstitutionalized older population of England, SEP-related inequalities exist in the prevalence of self-reported hearing loss. However, SEP is not strongly associated with progression in the remaining stages of health-seeking process during and after an individual’s contact with the health system

The role of volunteer support in the community for adults with hearing loss and hearing aids

Objectives: To explore interactions between audiology patients and volunteers, to describe encounters and define the role of volunteers. Methods: Qualitative ethnographic and interview study of volunteer-patient interactions. Ten volunteer participants from two volunteer schemes in South West England were observed and interviewed. Three patient participants were interviewed. Results: Analysis of observational data showed that volunteers provided support relating to local services and hearing aids, but did not engage in discussions about hearing loss. Interviews with volunteers identified gaps in audiology provision, including accessible services and clear information and highlighted a need for more support from audiology services to enable them to fulfil their role. Volunteer interactions with patients mimicked a clinician-patient encounter and volunteers employed strategies and behaviours used by professional audiologists. Conclusions: Audiology volunteers could provide an accessible bridge between health services and the community but their care is limited to focus on hearing aids. Practice implications: Volunteers enable patients to use hearing aids appropriately and are a core element of current care arrangements. However, volunteers express a need for adequate support from audiology services. Volunteers have the potential to increase service capacity and to bridge the gaps between community and audiology healthcare services

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a prevalent experience and, for those who are troubled by it, it can be debilitating. Risk factors include hearing loss, ototoxic medication, head injury and depression, and at presentation the possibility of otologic disease and of anxiety/depression should be considered. Effective drug treatments have proven elusive, though this is a vibrant theme in tinnitus research. Surgical intervention for any otological pathology associated with tinnitus may be effective for that condition, but the tinnitus may persist. Presently available treatments include the provision of hearing aids when a hearing loss is identified (even when mild or unilateral), wide band sound therapy and counselling. In some patients, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is indicated though availability of tinnitus specific CBT is limited in the UK. Of these treatments the evidence base is strongest for a combination of sound therapy and CBT based counselling, though clinical trials are constrained by the heterogeneity of the tinnitus patient population. Research into mechanisms of tinnitus and effective treatments now abounds, and progress is keenly anticipated
