Hearing Loss Clinical Trial
Official title:
EVidenced Based Management of Hearing Impairments: Public Health pΟlicy Making Based on Fusing Big Data Analytics and simulaTION
Hearing Loss (HL) affects over 5% of the world's population (WHO 2014) and is the 5th leading
cause of Years Lived with Disability. HL is currently managed with Hearing Aids (HAs), i.e.
programmable sound amplification devices that are worn by the hearing impaired subjects to
address their hearing difficulties. HA use however is often problematic, costly and with poor
overall benefits. The holistic management of HL requires appropriate public health policies
for HL prevention, early diagnosis, long-term treatment and rehabilitation; detection and
prevention of cognitive decline; and socioeconomic inclusion of HL patients. Currently the
evidential basis for forming such policies is limited.
The EVOTION project proposes to address this by collecting and analysing a big set of
heterogeneous data, including HA usage, audiological, physiological, cognitive, clinical and
medication, personal, behavioural, life style, occupational and environmental data.
This will be done by:
i. accessing big datasets of existing HA user data from the EVOTION clinical partners
(UCL/UCLH and GST in the UK; OTICON in Denmark) ii. collection of prospective HA user data
who will be recruited to the prospective EVOTION study and who will undergo some additional
assessments iii. collection of real time dynamic data of the human participant HA users who
will be given a smart phone with different apps (auditory tests; auditory training), sensors
(recording of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate etc.) and smart HAs (recording
environmental factors such as noise levels, type of noise etc.) so that real life contextual
factors that affect HA usage and outcome can be identified.
These data will be analysed with big data analysis/data mining techniques in order to
identify relationships between these in order to use this information to derive and support
public health decisions.
