To adapt the Active Communication Education (ACE) programme into Spanish. In addition, this study aimed at determining the effects of the adapted ACE programme on the social/emotional impacts of hearing loss and hearing functioning in a group of older adults with hearing loss who do not wear hearing aids. This was an exploratory cohort study. Study group participants received the newly adapted ACE programme and control group participants received a cognitive stimulation programme. The Shortened Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly in Spanish (HHIE-S) and the Spanish version of the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap (S-AIADH) were carried out before and after each programme. Sixty-six older adults with hearing loss and who did not wear hearing aids were randomly assigned to either an ACE group ( = 30) or a cognitive stimulation group ( = 36). Participants who received the ACE programme showed a significantly larger improvement for the S-AIADH than did the cognitive stimulation group participants. The ACE programme has been adapted into Spanish for use with Chilean older adults with hearing loss. The results show that older adults report better functioning in listening situations after attending the sessions of the adapted ACE programme.
将主动沟通教育（ACE）课程改编为西班牙语。此外，本研究旨在确定适应后的 ACE 课程对一群不佩戴助听器的听力损失老年人的听力损失的社会/情感影响的影响。这是一项探索性队列研究。研究组参与者接受了新改编的 ACE 课程，对照组参与者接受了认知刺激课程。在每个课程前后进行了西班牙语版简化听力障碍问卷（HHIE-S）和西班牙语版阿姆斯特丹听力障碍和障碍问卷（S-AIADH）。66 名有听力损失但不佩戴助听器的老年人被随机分配到 ACE 组（n=30）或认知刺激组（n=36）。接受 ACE 课程的参与者在 S-AIADH 方面的改善明显大于认知刺激组参与者。ACE 课程已被改编为西班牙语，供智利有听力损失的老年人使用。结果表明，老年人在参加改编后的 ACE 课程后，在听力环境中报告的功能更好。
