OBJECTIVE: To assess the benefits of the Ida Institute's Why improve my hearing? Telecare Tool used before the initial hearing assessment appointment.
DESIGN: A prospective, single-blind randomised clinical trial with two arms: (i) Why improve my hearing? Telecare Tool intervention, and (ii) standard care control.
STUDY SAMPLE: Adults with hearing loss were recruited from two Audiology Services within the United Kingdom's publicly-funded National Health Service. Of 461 individuals assessed for eligibility, 57 were eligible to participate.
RESULTS: Measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-efficacy for Hearing Aids (primary outcome) scores did not differ between groups from baseline to post-assessment (Mean change [Δ]= -2.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]= -6.70, 2.15, p= .307) and 10-weeks follow-up (Mean Δ= -2.69; 95% CI= -9.52, 4.15, p = .434). However, Short Form Patient Activation Measure scores significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group from baseline to post-assessment (Mean Δ= -6.06, 95% CI= -11.31, -0.82, p = .024, ES= .61) and 10-weeks follow-up (Mean Δ= -9.87, 95% CI= -15.34, -4.40, p = .001, ES= -.97).
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that while a patient-centred telecare intervention completed before management decisions may not improve an individual's self-efficacy to manage their hearing loss, it can lead to improvements in readiness.
