DOI: https://doi.org/Presbycusis, also known as age-related hearing loss (ARHL), is a prevalent disorder in older persons that is typified by a progressive reduction in hearing sensitivity. Using a retrospective observational approach, this study examined the association between the severity and duration of ARHL and the efficacy of adult hearing aid use. Multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were utilized to examine the data from 50 ARHL participants who wore hearing aids.
According to the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA), the results showed a substantial negative association between the effectiveness of hearing aids and the length and degree of hearing loss. Participants' satisfaction and benefit from their hearing aids were lower for those with longer and more severe hearing loss. Gender and age did not appear to have a major impact .
These findings demonstrate how crucial early detection and individualized rehabilitation techniques are to maximizing the advantages of hearing aids for those with ARHL. To improve clinical interventions and improve the quality of life for individuals affected with ARHL, more study is required to examine other factors influencing the effectiveness of hearing aids
