Официальное название
Hearing Screening in Adults Over 50 Years Old - Pilot Study
Обзор
The goal of this single-arm quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and management of three different hearing screening methods in adults aged 50 years and older in the Czech Republic. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the selected hearing screening methods effective in detecting hearing loss in the target population? Can these methods be successfully implemented within the national healthcare system to address gaps in current practices? Participants will: 1. Undergo hearing screening using all three methods, conducted by general practitioners, to assess their performance. 2. Complete follow-up evaluations conducted by ENT specialists to confirm diagnostic results.
Подробное описание
This single-arm quasi-experimental study involves a total of 330 participants aged 50 and older. The study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of three distinct hearing screening methods, conducted first by general practitioners and subsequently confirmed by ENT specialists, according to a standardized protocol.
Study Population and Interventions
Participants:
A total of 330 adults aged 50 years and older will be enrolled in the study.
Interventions:
The interventions are divided into two stages:
General Practitioners' Offices:
Before the screening:
Explanation of the screening process. Personal medical history review. Otoscopy and patient instruction.
Screening procedures (performed for all participants in the same order according to the standardized protocol):
1. Completion of the screening version of the standardized "HHIA" questionnaire (Czech version). 2. Whisper test conducted following the standardized protocol. 3. Screening pure tone audiometry performed according to the standardized protocol.
ENT Clinics:
Before the evaluation:
Explanation of the evaluation process. ENT-specific medical history review. Otoscopy and patient instruction.
Diagnostic procedures (performed for all participants in the same order according to the standardized protocol):
1. Pure tone audiometry conducted following the standardized protocol. 2. Tympanometry.
The findings will provide evidence for developing a comprehensive, national-scale hearing screening program for the aging population in the Czech Republic.
