Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark BackgroundBased on studies showing that hearing aid (HA) ownership among people with hearing impairment is surprisingly low, it stresses the importance of improving the likelihood of achieving a successful HA treatment. The level of satisfaction with the HA treatment is assessed using the self-administered International Outcome Inventory of Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) questionnaire.AimThe aims of the current study were to investigate the level of HA satisfaction for experienced and first time HA users, and investigate factors significantly associated with satisfaction of the HA treatment. Furthermore, to evaluate any difference between self-reported and objectively measured HA usage time (through data logging). MethodsSelf-reported questionnaire survey. Patients enrolled in the national BEAR project, from January 2017 to January 2018, answered the seven-item IOI-HA questionnaire targeting different hearing outcome domains; each scored from 1-5. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. Data logged HA usage time was obtained at two months follow-up visit and compared to the self-reported usage time obtained from the IOI-HA item 1.ResultsThe study population (n=1649) comprised of both experienced (n=458) and first time HA users (n=1191). Experienced users reported before and after two months following HA fitting. First time users reported two months following HA fitting.Mean scores for each of the seven IOI-HA items was significantly different for first time and experienced users except item 7 (QoL) (fig.1, fig.2). The average IOI-HA score for experienced HA users (fig.2) increased by 0,36 (SD=0,92), and was found to be statistically significant using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed rank test. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate association between the level of satisfaction and motivation, HA usage time, DS and hearing class. HA usage time IOI-HA HA usage time IOI-HAData logging for experienced users showed on average 10.4 hours of HA use (SD=5,10) and 8.35 hours of use (SD=1,02) for first time users. The difference in use time was significant. 73.3% of experienced users (n=460) reported in average a daily usage time of more than 8 hours, whereas 55.8% of first-time users (n=1190) reported an average HA usage time of more than 8 hours. ConclusionsResults showed that• Experienced and first time HA users reported relevatively high outcomes, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the HA treatment. • Experienced users were signifcantly higher satisfied with their new HA compared to the previousone, which argues that it is meaningful to renew HA after four years following Danish standards.• HA motivation was shown to be significantly associated with level of HA satisfaction for the firsttime users, whereas HA usage time, DS and hearing class were shown to be significantlyassociated with HA satisfaction for both groups of HA users. Compared to first time HA users, experienced users are using their HA significantly more. Fig. 3.
