“…In contrast, significantly more woman than men were fit with a CI. Kaplan-Neeman et al [12] had more male patients with hearing aids in their study, similar to Naylor et al [42]. A binaural fitting and a longer time per day of use was related to higher satisfaction with hearing aids in the Kaplan-Neeman study [12].…”

The study emphasizes the importance of being given the opportunity to participate in group rehabilitation and meet a hearing rehabilitation educator to experience the benefits of hearing rehabilitation. There is a need to offer extended audiological rehabilitation, especially in terms of gender differences, to provide the same impact for women and men. Implications for Rehabilitation Significantly more women than men with severe-to-profound hearing impairment receive audiological rehabilitation. Hearing impairment appears to have a significantly more negative impact on women's quality of life than men's. It is important to offer extended audiological rehabilitation to all patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss to obtain an equal hearing health care regardless of gender.

“…In the fourth study, new hearing aid users were the population of interest (Ferguson et al 2016). In the remaining study, the effects of audiologist interactions were studied among both experienced and new hearing aid users (Naylor et al 2015).…”

“…Five studies were identified that included interventions employing: motivational engagement (Ferguson et al 2016), motivational interviewing (Aazh 2016a;Solheim et al 2018), diagnostic and interactive narratives (Naylor et al 2015) and performance perceptual counselling (Saunders and Forsline 2012) in relation to hearing aid use and benefit outcomes.…”

“…There was no significant change in hearing aid use or benefit in either the informational or performance perceptual counselling groups at 8 or 10 weeks post fitting. Naylor et al (2015) evaluated the effect of audiologists' interactions on patients' hearing aid use and benefit. Naylor et al described the clinical interaction as embodying a "narrative" that may impact on patient outcomes.…”

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the evidence in relation to what hearing healthcare professionals do during hearing aid consultations and identifying which behaviours promote hearing aid use and benefit among adult patients. Design: Searches were performed in electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar. The Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool and Melnyk Levels of Evidence were used to assess quality and level of evidence of eligible studies. Behaviours of hearing healthcare professionals were summarised descriptively. Study Sample: 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: Twelve studies described behaviours of audiologists and five studies were intervention studies. Audiologists were typically task-or technically-oriented and/or dominated the interaction during hearing aid consultations. Two intervention studies suggested that use of motivational interviewing techniques by audiologists may increase hearing aid use in patients. Conclusions: Most studies of clinicians' behaviours were descriptive, with very little research linking clinician behaviour to patient outcomes. The present review sets the research agenda for better-controlled intervention studies to identify which clinician behaviours better promote patient hearing aid outcomes and develop an evidence base for best clinical practice.

“…The effect of counseling has been reported to patients with a history of hearing aids [81]. Patients between the two hearing aids with similar acoustic features reported differences in the quality of the sound because they were told at a consultation that these hearing aids are different.…”

Hearing loss is a common problem that may end in disability and handicap. The primary treatment of hearing loss is using hearing aids. However, many patients, despite being aware of this problem, are not interested in using these devices. Some factors affect the process of receiving and using hearing aids, some of which are related to the person's characteristics. In this article, we will investigate the possible factors and their roles in using hearing aids by the patients. Materials and Methods: We searched Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect database over the last twenty years, with the keywords of "hearing aid", "use", "satisfaction", and "benefit". The result of this search was 399 articles, out of which 77 articles were related to this topic. Discussion: Different factors affecting the usefulness of hearing aids can be investigated in two stages. The first is the stage before receiving hearing aids when a person looks for help and receives hearing aid, and the second stage after receiving the hearing aid when the person has used the hearing aid and reports his or her satisfaction. The factors affecting the receiving stage are the amount of hearing loss, problems experienced by the person, the patient's motives and expectations, personality traits, auditory counseling, and economic issues. However, after receiving a hearing aid, factors such as other non-auditory abilities, hearing loss, age, duration of hearing aid use, hearing aids characteristics, disabilities, attitudes, and personality traits affect the satisfaction of the patient.
