It is unclear, nevertheless, how well these measures compare to more supervised and regulated manual audiometric assessments. The aim of this study is to validate such smartphone-based methods against standardised laboratory assessments.Design: Pure-tone audiometry and categorical loudness scaling (CLS) were used. Three conditions with varying degrees of supervision were created and compared. In order to assess binaural and spectral loudness summation, both narrowband monaural and broadband binaural noise have been examined as CLS test stimuli.Study sample: N = 21 individuals with normal hearing and N = 16 participants with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.Results: The tests conducted here did not show any distinctions between smartphone-based and laboratory-based methods.Conclusions: Non-supervised listening tests via smartphone may serve as a valid, reliable, and cost-effective approach, e.g. for pure-tone audiometry, CLS, and the evaluation of binaural and spectral loudness summation. In addition, the supra-threshold tests can be constructed to be invariant against missing calibration and external noise which makes them more robust for smartphone usage than audiogram measures.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142768475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a first visit, participants were tested with traditional audiometry as well as user-operated audiometry and filled in the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ12) at baseline. Next, they were randomly divided to receive hearing aids fitted based on either the user-operated (UAud group) or the traditional audiometry (control group) hearing thresholds. After three months of hearing-aid use, participants underwent an aided hearing-in-noise test and completed the SSQ12 again, as well as an additional battery of outcome measures.Study sample: A total of 215 adults with sensorineural hearing impairment referred for bilateral hearing-aid fitting.Results: The before-after change in SSQ12 total scores was not different between the groups as the interaction between test times and groups was -0.06 (95% CI -0.56 to 0.44, p = 0.811).Conclusions: The findings suggest that the HA effectiveness in the UAud group was non-inferior to those observed in the control group.

The HCP survey explored the impact of teleaudiology on outcomes compared to in-person care and factors important for successful teleaudiology.Study sample: 378 patients and 14 HCPs.Results: Patients were highly satisfied with the service and self-reported good hearing-aid handling skills. However, 2 in 3 patients said they would prefer a future hearing-aid fitting to be in-person rather than remote. HCPs thought teleaudiology had positive impacts on convenience, accessibility, and flexibility, but negative impacts on communication, rapport, and the quality of care. HCPs considered computer literacy and individual preferences to be important for successful remote care; the age of the patient was considered less important.Conclusions: Patients were generally highly satisfied with the service and for 1 in 3 it was their preferred mode of future hearing-aid fitting.

The quality of the included studies was determined using the National Institute of Health quality assessment tool. The studies' level of evidence was determined according to the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.Results: All included studies involved adult participants. Three studies examined help-seeking. Self-reported difficulty, poor speech-in-noise performance, and emotional responses to the hearing difficulty were identified as factors influencing help-seeking. Six studies examined the use of hearing devices as an intervention, including hearing aids (n = 4), hearables (n = 1), and FM systems (n = 1). Using hearing devices improved self-perceived hearing difficulty, speech-in-noise understanding, and motivation to address hearing difficulties. No studies focused on hearing device uptake. The quality assessment indicated limited methodological rigour across the studies, with varying levels of evidence.Conclusions: Current evidence supports the use of hearing devices as an intervention for individuals with subclinical hearing loss.
