Automated Text Message Reminders for Hearing Aid Adoption

This study is looking at whether automated text message reminders can help people with hearing loss get hearing aids. Many people who could benefit from hearing aids don't end up using them. This study will send text messages that include information about hearing loss and encourage participants to get hearing aids. Researchers want to see if these messages increase the number of people who get hearing aids. You might be able to join if you are an English-speaking adult who has been told you need hearing aids, and you don't currently use them. The study will check if you've gotten hearing aids at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after you join. The study plans to enroll 190 people, but its current status is unclear.

  • Likelihood of obtaining hearing aidsThis outcome data will be collected 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after enrollment.

    Participants will be queried on whether they have obtained hearing aids since enrollment in the study. Participants who have not obtained hearing aids, will be asked to rate the likelihood that they would obtain hearing aids. Likelihood will be assessed on an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Score range: 0 to 10 (0 = not likely, 10 = very likely). Participants who have already obtained hearing aids will be assigned a score of 10.
