Automated Text Message Reminders to Promote Hearing Aid Adoption
Sponsor: Stanford University
Summary
Many individuals with hearing loss do not receive adequate hearing healthcare. Only about 30 percent of people that are found to have hearing loss during a hearing test go on to use hearing aids. The investigators propose to test the use of text message reminders to educate patients with hearing loss, and to encourage them to get hearing aids. The study objective is to examine whether automated text-messaging reminders increase the use of hearing aids among patients with hearing loss, who are hearing aid candidates.
