Hearing Screening in Adults Over 50 Years Old
Sponsor: University Hospital Hradec Kralove
Summary
The goal of this single-arm quasi-experimental study is to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and management of three different hearing screening methods in adults aged 50 years and older in the Czech Republic. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the selected hearing screening methods effective in detecting hearing loss in the target population? Can these methods be successfully implemented within the national healthcare system to address gaps in current practices? Participants will: 1. Undergo hearing screening using all three methods, conducted by general practitioners, to assess their performance. 2. Complete follow-up evaluations conducted by ENT specialists to confirm diagnostic results.
