About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of NECTEC Model, Body-worn, Digital Hearing Aids and Cost of Screening and Hearing Aids Service in Elders

To test the effectiveness of body-worn, digital hearing aids, model 02 which is developed by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, Thailand.

Read the detailed description

Hearing aids distribution and service system are limited accessed in hearing disabled people in developing countries. The local-made, body-worn, digital hearing aids is developed by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, Thailand. The effectiveness of this model will be compares with other standard body-worn, hearing aids in community elders. The functional gain, quality of sound, customers' satisfaction, and quality of life (EQ-5D, HHIE, HUI-3, IOI-HA) are main outcomes.The cost of Screening and hearing aids will be also investigated. The validity and reliability of several tools used such as the Thai-Hearing Handicap Inventory for elderly (HHIE) questionnaire, Music Test, Thai-Five Minute Hearing Test, and Khon Kaen Hearing Aids Evaluation are also studied.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
