PURPOSE
The present research sought to describe the elements that interfere with the use of hearing aids in the elderly beneficiaries of a hearing aid delivery from Chile in a Family Health Center.
METHODS
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 24 beneficiary users, with application of a closed-question questionnaire prepared by the researchers.
RESULTS
A 75% adherence to the use of hearing aids is reported. There was a difference of 3.8 h in the use between adherents and non-adherents and in the frequency of use. The main reasons for not using the hearing aids are discomfort due to mold and noise.
CONCLUSION
It is necessary to provide quality education during the implementation process, as well as to address the technical difficulties related to atrial adjustment and calibration of the hearing aid in order to increase adherence.
目的

方法
对24名受益使用者进行了描述性横断面研究，应用了研究人员编制的封闭式问卷调查。
结果
报告显示助听器使用依从率为75%。依从者和非依从者在使用时长和使用频率上存在3.8小时的差异。不使用助听器的主要原因是耳模不适和噪音。
结论
在实施过程中需要提供高质量的教育，并解决与助听器的调试和校准相关的技术难题，以提高依从性。
