A randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of online rehabilitative intervention for adult hearing-aid users
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Previous research shows that the internet can be used in the rehabilitation of hearing-aid users. By further developing the online program, it might be possible to foster behavioral changes that will positively affect hearing-aid users. DESIGN: A randomized controlled study with two groups of participants. The intervention group underwent a five-week online intervention while the control group was referred to a waiting list. Questionnaires were used as outcome measures. STUDY SAMPLE: Seventy-six experienced hearing-aid users participated in the study, ranging in age from 26 to 81 years (mean 69.3 years). RESULTS: The findings showed significant improvements in the intervention group after the intervention, measured by the hearing handicap inventory for the elderly. The effects were maintained and improved at the follow-up. Furthermore, the results indicated that the participants in the intervention group improved at two items of the international outcome inventory for hearing aids, and the effects were partly maintained at the follow-up. Finally, significant improvements in the domain of psychosocial wellbeing were found at the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides further evidence that the internet can be used to deliver intervention of rehabilitation to hearing-aid users.

“Studies show that programs delivered on the Iterapi platform reduce psychological problems for a range of disorders from both somatic problems such as hearing loss (Thorén et al., 2014) and tinnitus (Hesser et al., 2012) to more traditional psychological difficulties such as anxiety (Tulbure et al., 2015) and depression (Johansson et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
