Interventions

  • Automated text message reminder — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants in the intervention group will receive automated text messages instructing them to obtain hearing aids. The messages will also include basic information on the prevalence and negative effects of hearing loss.

Study Details

Many individuals with hearing loss do not receive adequate hearing healthcare. Only about 30 percent of people that are found to have hearing loss during a hearing test go on to use hearing aids. The investigators propose to test the use of text message reminders to educate patients with hearing loss, and to encourage them to get hearing aids. The study objective is to examine whether automated text-messaging reminders increase the use of hearing aids among patients with hearing loss, who are hearing aid candidates.
