In the field of audiology, change is inevitable: changes in technologies with hearing devices, changes in consumer knowledge, and changes in consumer-driven solutions. With these changes, the audiologist must adapt to meet the needs of the consumer. There are potential predictors that the audiologist could use to determine who is more likely to pursue and use amplification; by using these data, the audiologists may increase their productivity and increase patient satisfaction. The goal of this article is to investigate the MarkeTrak 10 (MT10) data to determine the trends in adoption and use of hearing aids as well as examine predictive factors that can be used to determine hearing aid adoption.
在听力学领域,变化是不可避免的:听力设备技术的变化、消费者知识的变化以及消费者驱动的解决方案的变化。随着这些变化,听力学家必须做出调整以满足消费者的需求。听力学家可以利用一些潜在的预测指标来确定谁更有可能寻求并使用听力放大设备;通过使用这些数据,听力学家可能会提高工作效率并提升患者满意度。本文的目的是研究市场追踪10(MT10)数据,以确定助听器的采用和使用趋势,并考察可用于确定助听器采用情况的预测因素。
