Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Objective: To evaluate the utility of a standardized counselling program in patients with hearing loss.
* Material and Methods: A before/after trial will be carried out, approved by the Hospital ethics - committee. Patients with 65 years and older with hearing loss diagnosed by pure tone audiometry will be included. To assess adherence we will use the IOI-HA scale.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* The study hypothesis is that a counseling program will improve adherence to hearing aids in elderly population.
* Objective: To evaluate the utility of a standardized counseling program in patients with hearing loss.
* Material and Methods: A before/after clinical trial will be carried out, approved by the Hospital ethics - committee. Patients with 65 years and older diagnosed by pure tone audiometry who are beneficiaries of the Public GES hearing loss programme and receive a hearing aid will be included. The subjects will be randomized in two branches: Active branch, subject to the rehabilitation program; and passive branch, which was control, with usual management (no intervention). To assess adherence we will use the IOI-HA scale.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Program counseling
Active branch, subject to the rehabilitation program
Active Communication Education Program
The program called Active Communication Education (ACE), that is a semistructured rehabilitation program for people with hearing loss, which aims to improve rehabilitation of hearing aids users by a strategy based on problem solution.
No counseling
Passive branch, which was control, with usual management (no intervention).
Control
Participants in this arm will not receive intervention during the study protocol time. After the completion of the protocol, they will receive the same intervention that the intervention group, meaning the ACE program intervention.
