Summary

This study tests a hearing program for older adults who don't have easy access to hearing care. During a primary care visit, participants are screened for hearing loss and then randomly assigned to either get counseling on affordable listening devices or be referred to standard audiology care. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and reaches people who need help.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
counseling intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show a practical way to help underserved older adults get hearing help during regular doctor visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, not designed to prove the program improves hearing. It only measures if people can be screened and counseled, not long-term outcomes.
