Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Informational counseling, patient only
The purpose of this experimental group is to evaluate the effectiveness of informational counseling alone. This type of counseling is considered the standard of care in audiologic practice. Patients in this will review this material in detail with a member of the study team for approximately 30 minutes at the second visit. Spouses in this experimental group will be will review material regarding VA services with a member of the study team for about 30 minutes.
Informational Counseling
Informational Counseling, couples
The purpose of this experimental group is to evaluate the influence of spousal involvement when receiving informational counseling. In this manner, both patients and spouses are presented with the same information regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. Couples in this experimental group will be given the same information that the patients in the first group were given. At the second visit, couples in this group will review this information together with a member of the research team for approximately 30 minutes.
Informational Counseling
Patient Centered Counseling,patient only
In order to assess the effects of enhanced patient-centered counseling (PCC), the patients assigned to this group will meet together with either Dr. Lewis or the Research Audiologist for approximately 30 minutes of counseling. In addition to the PCC techniques used in audiology, this counseling also will involve the core components of motivational interviewing. These principles and methods will be used to allow the patient to clearly express his/her expectations of, concerns about, and motivations for hearing-aid use. The spouses in this experimental group will be given information regarding VA services. This material will be reviewed with a member of the research team for about 30 minutes at the second visit.
Patient Centered Counseling
Patient Centered Counseling, couples
In order to assess the influence of the spouse on the enhanced PCC process, the couples assigned to this group will meet together with either Dr. Lewis or the Research Audiologist for approximately 30 minutes of counseling. This counseling will be conducted with both the patient and the spouse together, giving both partners time to express their thoughts.
