“…This lack of training, in addition to not aligning with the National Hearing Health Policy (Brasil, 2004), can potentially generate an overload at secondary and tertiary levels of hearing health care. The adequate qualification of Primary Health Care teams, as well as allowing for greater detection of the disease, may even create health education devices to prevent hearing loss: through information campaigns, health fairs and guidance to the community on the control of exposure to noise in their daily life or work environment (Andrade et al, 2020; Ribeiro et al, 2021).…”

“…Hearing loss, known as presbycusis, compromises oral communication, reduces social well-being, and negatively impacts people’s quality of life. This type of impairment occurs for several reasons, and it is particularly common with aging (Ribeiro et al, 2021), often interfering with an individual’s relationships in their social environment. This disease is related to a number of other neuropsychic comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression, which may be associated with neurological disorders involving cognitive decline and dementia (Kim et al, 2021).…”

To evaluate the performance of professionals regarding knowledge about hearing loss in the elderly, through theoretical and practical training by a speech therapist. An intervention study was carried out with 87 Primary Health Care professionals in a municipality of Brazil. A survey of the participants’ knowledge related to hearing loss was performed using a data collection instrument composed of items related to both sociodemographic conditions and specific questions concerning the topic. This instrument was applied in two stages: before training and after training. The participants’ performance in relation to knowledge about hearing health was estimated by subtracting the post-training score from that obtained in pre-training. Participants were classified in higher performance (≥4 points) and lower performance (<4 points) groups. Other variables were collected: sex, age, occupation, schooling level, and length of professional service in health. The performance comparison estimated mean and the 95% confidence interval were calculated by the aforementioned variables using Student’s t-test. A comparison of these variables with higher performance was conducted using the X2 test with a significance level of 5%. After training, there was an increase in the average performance of about 30% ( p < .01). The highest performance was more frequent among professionals who reported having high school and below levels of education ( p < .01) and who were community health agents ( p = .01). The performance of the professionals regarding their knowledge about screening for hearing loss increased. The training showed low complexity and was feasible for health professionals.

“…A perda auditiva é uma deficiência comum na população mundial, a qual promove privação auditiva e tem influência em aspectos sociais, físicos e mentais, contribuindo para redução no acesso à comunicação verbal e redução da qualidade de vida 1,2 . A identificação precoce, reabilitação e acompanhamento audiológico dessa deficiência é importante para mitigar suas consequências, sendo os dispositivos eletrônicos de amplificação sonora (DEAS) uma das principais abordagens de reabilitação da deficiência auditiva em adultos e idosos disponibilizados por serviços de saúde auditiva 3,4 .…”

Introduction: Hearing loss is a common disability in the world population and contributes to difficulty in verbal communication and reduced quality of life, highlighting the importance of early identification, rehabilitation and audiological monitoring of this disability to mitigate its consequences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictive measures reduced the service capacity of hearing health services and made it difficult to seek help to solve problems related to adaptation to personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), being a barrier in the rehabilitation process of hearing loss. Aim: To characterize PSAPs users and the initial hearing rehabilitation process for adults and elderly people and verify the factors associated with the return to hearing monitoring consultations in the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study with adults and elderly people: elderly users of an outpatient hearing health service who return for a scheduled hearing monitoring consultation in the initial period of the implementation of restrictive measures of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Results: Most participants were able to return to the hearing monitoring clinic, the majority of whom were elderly, female and vaccinated against COVID-19. There was a higher prevalence of adequate adaptation to the PSAPs. There was no statistical association between variables related to adaptation to PSAPs, COVID-19 and mental health and return to hearing monitoring consultation. Conclusion: Factors related to adaptation to PSAPs, COVID-19 or mental health did not influence the return to hearing monitoring consultation in the present investigation.

“…Tal déficit pode gerar um transtorno psicológico, em que o indivíduo pode isolar-se ou ser isolado pela sociedade, momento em que há redução da qualidade de vida. (RIBEIRO, 2021) Nesse sentido, dentre as alterações sensoriais que acompanham o processo de envelhecimento, a deficiência auditiva é uma das mais incapacitantes, pois a deterioração do sistema auditivo causa déficit na compreensão da fala, gerando dificuldades de inserção social.…”

Introdução: a audição é fundamental na interação entre os seres humanos. A deterioração do sistema auditivo origina déficits na compreensão de fala e acarreta uma série de problemas sociais, dentre eles o afastamento das atividades sociais e familiares, baixa autoestima, isolamento, solidão, depressão e irritabilidade. Durante a vivência de atendimentos de pessoas com deficiência auditiva usuárias de aparelho auditivo, constatou-se a dificuldade no manuseio das próteses, ocasionando, por vezes, danos físicos ou químicos, além de uma baixa aderência ao uso. Objetivo: Construir um produto educacional audiovisual do tipo tutorial para os pacientes usuários de aparelho auditivo. Metodologia: O desenvolvimento do estudo e produção do tutorial ocorreu em três fases: revisão integrativa, criação do produto e divulgação, em um hospital universitário do norte do país. Resultado: elaboração do protótipo audiovisual pela pesquisadora, orientadora, coorientadora e profissional de comunicação. O material criado está disponibilizado em plataforma online de forma gratuita para a população. Discussão: o tutorial teve enfoque no cuidado com os componentes, como utilizá-los e limpá-los, defeitos decorrentes do mau uso, os quais não são resolvidos pela assistência técnica do aparelho. Além disso, conta com instruções de como produzir um pote desumidificador para o produto, de forma caseira, o qual mantém as próteses livres da umidade, excessiva na região norte do país. Foi priorizada a transmissão de conteúdo sobre uso dos aparelhos auditivos de forma simples e translúcida, com objetivo de proporcionar conhecimento de forma democrática a todos os pacientes e seus cuidadores. Conclusão: O tutorial audiovisual criado tem como prioridade as orientações sobre uso e cuidado com as próteses auditivas, a fim de proporcionar maior usabilidade destas, destacando-se a manutenção de seus componentes, o uso correto da bateria e encaixe correto no pavilhão auricular.
