Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Participants randomized to the experimental group will receive hearing aid fitting and verification services via teleaudiology with local, hands-on support from a Community Health Worker.
Community Health Workers and Teleaudiology as a Culturally-Relevant Approach to Improving Access to Hearing Health Care
In this project, remote hearing aid fittings will be delivered by an audiologist with patient-site support from a local facilitator for a cohort of older adults (\>50 years) from a rural area that has been identified as under-resourced for hearing health care.
Control Group
Participants randomized to the control group will receive hearing aid fitting and verification services via teleaudiology with local, hands-on support from a non-Community Health Worker (undergraduate student in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences).
