How Hearing Aids Enhance Human Performance: The Health-related Outcomes Associated with Earlier Interventions Using Hybrid Devices
Recently, traditional hearing aids have converged with consumer audio devices to create a new category of products, commonly referred to as hybrid devices. These devices offer persons with hearing difficulties the opportunity to improve communication and health-related quality of life outcomes at a younger age when hearing loss is often of a milder degree. To fully realize the benefits of hybrid devices, however, it is essential for clinicians to understand the link between self-reported hearing difficulties, subclinical hearing loss and their impact on health-related quality of life. This course will review the relationship between self-reported hearing difficulties, contrast it with objective hearing loss of adult-onset, discuss its consequences on health-related quality of life and reviewed how hybrid devices can be employed clinically as an early intervention strategy.
