Procedure:
Automated hearing test
Subjects will take an automated hearing test that presents tones at different pitches and volumes. Participants will identify whether or not they heard the tone and receive printed recommendations for hearing healthcare follow-up. All subjects will complete the Hearing Handicap Inventory (HHI) questionnaire and the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire (HBQ). Approximately 6-8 months after their initial appointment, subjects in this groups will receive a telephone call and will be asked questions related to their actions and attitudes related to hearing and hearing health care.
Pure-tone Screener test
During the test different tones are going to be presented at one volume level. Participants will identify whether or not they heard the tone and receive printed recommendations for hearing healthcare follow-up. All subjects will complete the Hearing Handicap Inventory (HHI) questionnaire and the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire (HBQ). Approximately 6-8 months after their initial appointment, subjects in this groups will receive a telephone call and will be asked questions related to their actions and attitudes related to hearing and hearing health care.
Digits-in-noise test
During the test subjects will hear a pattern of 3 numbers with variable noise in the background and identify the pattern they hear, and receive printed recommendations for hearing healthcare follow-up. All subjects will complete the Hearing Handicap Inventory (HHI) questionnaire and the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire (HBQ). Approximately 6-8 months after their initial appointment, subjects in this groups will receive a telephone call and will be asked questions related to their actions and attitudes related to hearing and hearing health care.
No screening test
This group of subjects will not receive a screening test. All subjects will complete the Hearing Handicap Inventory (HHI) questionnaire and the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire (HBQ). Approximately 6-8 months after their initial appointment, subjects in this group will receive a telephone call and will be asked questions related to their actions and attitudes related to hearing and hearing health care.
Automated hearing test/Motivation video
Subjects will take an automated hearing test that presents tones at different pitches and volumes.Participants will identify whether or not they heard the tone and receive printed recommendations for hearing healthcare follow-up. They will also watch a brief video that shows how hearing works and learn about the different types of hearing loss. All subjects will complete the Hearing Handicap Inventory (HHI) questionnaire and the Hearing Beliefs Questionnaire (HBQ). Approximately 6-8 months after their initial appointment, subjects in this groups will receive a telephone call and will be asked questions related to their actions and attitudes related to hearing and hearing health care.
