[Patients with hearing loss and cognitive impairment: how do hearing-healthcare professionals deal with it?]
Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of Dutch hearing-healthcare professionals regarding the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive impairment.
Design: Descriptive, quantitative research METHOD: A self-report survey (KAP) has been distributed among Dutch audiological centers and hearing aid dispensers. In total, 100 hearing healthcare professionals completed the survey. Descriptive analyses have been performed for the five domains demographics, knowledge, attitude, practice and training.
Results: There is ample knowledge about the role of cognition within the hearing healthcare and a positive attitude towards the identification of cognitive problems. The knowledge and practices are limited regarding the use of cognitive screening tests. Besides, objective hearing tests are rarely recommended in practice and patients with suspected cognitive impairment are rarely referred to follow-up care.
Conclusion: This study offers clear starting points to make hearing healthcare regarding comorbidity of hearing loss and cognitive problems more future proof. Education, training, referral guidelines, next to self-help programs and brochures for patients can all contribute to this.
