Prescription of hearing aids is part of the treatment, although the prevalence of use by elderly people is still small.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Objective\u2003To verify whether or not self-assessment of hearing is a predictor for purchase of hearing aids.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study. Participants were subjects who sought a private hearing center for selection of hearing aids. During the diagnostic interview, subjects answered the following question: \u201cOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 the best, how would you rate your overall hearing ability?\u201d After that, subjects underwent audiometry, selected a hearing aid, performed a home trial, and decided whether or not to purchase the hearing aid. The variables were associated and analyzed statistically.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003The sample was comprised of 32 subjects, both men and women, with a higher number of women. Mean age was 71.41\u2009\u00b1\u200912.14 years. Self-assessment of hearing ranged from 2 to 9 points. Overall, 71.9% of the subjects purchased hearing aids. There was no association between scores in the self-assessment and the purchase of hearing aids (p\u2009=\u20090.263). Among those who scored between 2 and 5 points, 64.7% purchased the device; between 6 and 7 points, 76.09% purchased the device; and between 8 and 9 points, 50% purchased the device, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003There is evidence that low self-assessment scores lead to the purchase of hearing aids, although no significant association was observed in the sample.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1554728","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,10]],"date-time":"2015-06-10T04:59:57Z","timestamp":1433912397000},"page":"048-053","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Self-Assessment of Hearing and Purchase of Hearing Aids by Middle-Aged and Elderly Adults"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Andressa","family":"Otavio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech Therapy Course, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Coradini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fgda, Comunicare Aparelhos Auditivos, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriane","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Human Communication, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Instituto de Psicologia da UFRGS, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0035-1554728.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T17:31:24Z","timestamp":1557163884000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0035-1554728"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0035-1554728","relation":{},"ISSN":["1809-9777","1809-4864"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1809-9777","type":"print"},{"value":"1809-4864","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,9]]}}}
