Summary

This study looked at whether it's possible and acceptable to screen for hearing loss in the emergency department (ED). Researchers worked with 133 veterans who had mild hearing trouble to see if using a hearing device helped them communicate with doctors and understand discharge instructions. The goal was to gather information to help decide if routine hearing screening in the ED is worth doing.
