Abstract

OBJECTIVES

The objective of this study was to investigate current perception and expected price of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) and to analyze influencing factors through multi-center hospital-based surveys of outpatients, caregivers, and hearing experts.

METHODS

A multi-center exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted in two groups of respondents with two separate surveys: 1) a perception survey of patients and caregivers who visited an otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic in 5 general hospitals and 2) an opinion survey of hearing specialists about the expected price of PSAPs. A total of 197 outpatient visitors responded to the perception survey, and 42 hearing specialists responded to the opinion survey.

RESULTS

Overall perception score (18 questions) was 3.04 (95% CI, 3.00-3.09). When 5 categories of perception (knowledge, needs, cost, expectation, and information categories) were analyzed, cost and expectation showed the highest scores of 3.33 (95% CI, 3.21-3.44) and 3.33 (95% CI, 3.27-3.40), respectively, and needs showed the lowest score of 2.23 (95% CI, 1.97-2.49). The ≥ 60-year-old group showed significantly higher perception of PSAPs (P = 0.002), and the individuals with greater severity of subjective hearing loss showed significantly higher perception of PSAPs (P = 0.002). The expected price of PSAPs of the outpatient visitors was 933.9 USD (95% CI, 811.9-1056.0) per ear. Mean expected price of PSAPs of hearing specialists was 291.3 USD (95% CI, 238.2-344.3) per ear.

CONCLUSION

The perception rate of PSAPs was very low, and there was a discrepancy in the expected price of PSAPs between patients/caregivers and hearing experts. Hearing specialists should make effort to improve perception of PSAPs.

摘要

目的

本研究的目的是调查个人扩音产品（PSAP）的当前认知度和预期价格，并通过对门诊患者、护理人员和听力专家进行多中心医院调查来分析影响因素。

方法

在两组受访者中进行了一项多中心探索性横断面研究，采用两项独立调查：1）对5家综合医院耳鼻喉科门诊就诊的患者和护理人员进行认知度调查；2）对听力专家进行关于PSAP预期价格的意见调查。共有197名门诊就诊者对认知度调查做出了回应，42名听力专家对意见调查做出了回应。

结果

总体认知度得分（18个问题）为3.04（95%置信区间，3.00 - 3.09）。当对认知度的5个类别（知识、需求、成本、期望和信息类别）进行分析时，成本和期望得分最高，分别为3.33（95%置信区间，3.21 - 3.44）和3.33（95%置信区间，3.27 - 3.40），需求得分最低，为2.23（95%置信区间，1.97 - 2.49）。≥60岁组对PSAP的认知度显著更高（P = 0.002），主观听力损失程度更严重的个体对PSAP的认知度显著更高（P = 0.002）。门诊就诊者对PSAP的预期价格为每只耳朵933.9美元（95%置信区间，811.9 - 1056.0）。听力专家对PSAP的平均预期价格为每只耳朵291.3美元（95%置信区间，238.2 - 344.3）。
