In France, 64% of residents in nursing homes have moderate to severe hearing loss and only 12% are treated with hearing aids. Yet the extra-auditory consequences of presbycusis are numerous: general fatigue, isolation, anxiety and depression. France counted 620 000 nursing home beds in 2020 and this number increases each year by an average of 2% (DREES (Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics), France, 2019). Only few studies have focused on hearing disorders in this population, given the importance of their communication difficulties (Solheim J et al., 2016, Kimball A et al., 2017 ). The population in nursing homes is for 80% over 80 years old (DREES (Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics) survey, France, 2014). This same survey looked at the proportion of people with functional hearing limitations and their severity depending on where they live. The highest rates were found among people living in institutions (regardless of the degree of functional hearing limitations), with 42% of people living in nursing homes and senior residences who have hearing functional limitations against 15.9 % of those living at home The present study is interested in the management of hearing and communication disorders in nursing homes residents by setting up a program for the rehabilitation of these disorders, based on the use of a simple hearing device by the nursing home staff.
The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program for hearing and communication disorders intended to improve the communication of residents in nursing homes.
This program includes for the resident:
This program includes for the staff members:
- A one-day training comprising three components (general concepts concerning deafness and its rehabilitation, training in the use of the device to improve audibility, training in facilitating the communication workshop).
