Abstract

Objectives: To identify correlates of hearing aid use in people with dementia and age-related hearing loss.

Methods: Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of predictor variables from 239 participants with dementia and hearing loss in the European SENSE-Cog Randomized Controlled Trial (Cyprus, England, France, Greece, and Ireland).

Results: In multivariate analysis, four variables were significantly associated with hearing aid use: greater self-perceived hearing difficulties (OR 2.61 [CI 1.04-6.55]), lower hearing acuity (OR .39 [CI .2-.56]), higher cognitive ability (OR 1.19 [CI 1.08-1.31]), and country of residence. Participants in England had significantly increased odds of use compared to Cyprus (OR .36 [CI .14-.96]), France (OR .12 [CI .04-.34]) or Ireland (OR .05 [CI .01-.56]) but not Greece (OR 1.13 [CI .42-3.00]).

Conclusions: Adapting interventions to account for cognitive ability, country of residence, self-perceived hearing difficulties, and hearing acuity may support hearing aid use in people with dementia.

痴呆症患者使用助听器的相关因素有哪些？

目的：确定老年痴呆症患者和老年性听力损失患者使用助听器的相关性：确定痴呆症和老年性听力损失患者使用助听器的相关因素：对欧洲 SENSE-Cog 随机对照试验（塞浦路斯、英国、法国、希腊和爱尔兰）中 239 名痴呆症和听力损失患者的预测变量进行二元和多元逻辑回归分析：在多变量分析中，有四个变量与助听器的使用显著相关：自我感觉听力困难较多（OR 2.61 [CI 1.04-6.55]）、听力敏锐度较低（OR .39 [CI .2-.56]）、认知能力较高（OR 1.19 [CI 1.08-1.31]）以及居住国家。与塞浦路斯（OR .36 [CI .14-.96]）、法国（OR .12 [CI .04-.34]）或爱尔兰（OR .05 [CI .01-.56]）相比，英国参与者使用的几率明显增加，但希腊（OR 1.13 [CI .42-3.00]）没有增加：结论：根据认知能力、居住国、自我感觉的听力困难和听力敏锐度调整干预措施可能有助于痴呆症患者使用助听器。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research findings and scholarly exchange in the area of aging and health. Manuscripts are sought that deal with social and behavioral factors related to health and aging. Disciplines represented include the behavioral and social sciences, public health, epidemiology, demography, health services research, nursing, social work, medicine, and related disciplines. Although preference is given to manuscripts presenting the findings of original research, review and methodological pieces will also be considered.
