Only a minority of individuals with hearing impairment are self motivated, with the majority of clients, especially older clients, presenting at audiology clinics under the persuasion or influence of their spouse or significant other. This highlights the important role that spouse play in initiating aural rehabilitation and indicates that spouses of older people with hearing impairment ma become so frustrated with their partners hearing loss that they are often the primary reason why the hearing impaired person presents for audiological services. To date, however, the number of studies addressing the effect of hearing loss on significant others is limited Those studies that have investigated the effect of hearing impairment on families are commonly focused on the person with the impairment and mos commonly, the significant other has merely been use as a proxy to describe the perceived problems of his or her spouse. Further, there has been no systematic in depth investigation of the needs of spouses of older people with hearing impairment, including the effect of retirement and the increase in time spent together with the majority of studies focusing primarily or younger spouses of workers affected by noise-induce hearing loss. The cumulative effect of experiencing many years of hearing difficulties with a partner ma also influence the extent to which older spouses are affected by hearing impairment. The primary purpose of this article is therefore to critically review the existing literature on the effects of hearing impairment of spouses. It will also provide a rationale for the importance of this topic as a clinical issue and suggest some future directions for research in this area.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128165327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen residents (aged 79 to 99 years) were recruited to this study. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using pure-tone audiometry as a measure of impairment, self-report measures of activity limitations and participation restrictions, and a modified version of the Communication Environment Assessment and Planning Guide to examine environmental factors. Interventions were administered both at the level of the individual as well as the wider communication environment. Results indicated that 14 of the 15 residents were hearing impaired, with four experiencing significant levels of activity limitations and participation restrictions. A moderate correlation was obtained between impairment and activity limitations/participation restrictions. Eight participants were assessed post-intervention; although activity limitations/participation restrictions scores did not show any significant differences, qualitative data indicated some of the benefits of the program. The study not only supported previous findings on the nature of hearing impairment, activity limitations and participation restrictions in residents of aged care facilities, but also importantly highlighted the difficulties faced by clinicians and researchers working in this environment.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133709080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven adults who have severe or greater acquired HIs (and who had subsequently been either fitted with hearing aids or undergone cochlear implantation) were audio-recorded undertaking a 20-minute free conversation in a quiet clinical setting with their chosen FCP. Transcriptions of the conversations were analysed for the occurrence of repair sequences following the Conversation Analysis (CA) model. A total of 735 completed repair sequences were identified across the seven conversations, the majority occurring within the same turn as the trouble source. No difference was noted in the frequency with which all but one trajectory was initiated by either the HI or FCP participants. Repairs initiated by the HI participant and repaired by the FCP in response to a trouble source in a previous turn by the FCP occurred significantly more often than the same sequence initiated by the FCPs. The results emphasise the usefulness of framing repair activity arising from acquired HI in the broader conversational act of repairing and the CA model.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126048321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean average hearing threshold of the group was 54 dB HL. Prior to aid fitting, participants expected good aided performance, few problems, low cost and good service. Expectations about performance in different situations were significantly related to each other, as were various service quality descriptions. Expectations about specific problems and cost did not correlate. The relationship between pre-fitting expectations and satisfaction measured at 3 months post-fitting was subsequently investigated. Greatest post-fitting satisfaction was noted for service quality items and listening in easy situations and lowest satisfaction was evident for difficult listening situations. re-fitting expectations did not correlate with general satisfaction with hearing aids or dispenser service. Higher expected ability to hear in noise and television/radio was associated with higher satisfaction post-fitting in same situations. Expectations of fewer problems in appearance pre-fitting were related to satisfaction with he dispenser post-fitting. Higher expectation of the dispensers communication ability was related to satisfaction with communication with the dispenser in the long-term. Overall, the results of this study indicated hat pre-fitting expectations do not have a strong association with post-fitting satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124063638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 77 community-based older people participated in the study. Pure-tone audiometry showed that 36% had normal hearing, 40% had a mild hearing loss and the remainder (23%) had a moderate or greater loss. Objective measurements of corrected distance and near visual acuities were obtained using the Bailey-Lovie logMAR distance and near visual acuity tests. According to the criteria used in the present study, 34% had some distance vision impairment and 9% had some near vision impairment. The benefit gained in auditory-visual speech perception was determined by comparing auditory-only and auditory-visual performance on the Bamford-Kowal-Bench Australian Version Speech reading Test. An average visual benefit of 28.8% was achieved by the participants, and, for the vast majority of participants (86%), the benefit gained was statistically significant. A significant correlation was not found between either distance or near visual acuity and benefit gained in auditory-visual speech perception. The implications of these findings are that it is important for audiologists to recommend the use of lipreading to older clients, irrespective of their visual impairment, as the majority will gain significant benefit from the use of visual cues.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126366415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
