METHODS: Adults aged 40 years and older from the Hearing impairment Adults: a Longitudinal Outcomes Study (HALOS), with adequate English language skills, were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview about their hearing intervention journey. A thematic analysis was applied to the interview transcripts via inductive coding.
RESULTS: Thirty-one hearing device users (15 hearing aid users, 9 CI users and 7 bimodal users) across Australia enrolled in the interview. Themes identified include hearing care management, alternative support services, patient self-management and accessibility to hearing services.

Rehabilitation, primary health and hearing care services ought to work together to create an integrated hearing care journey for patients.
