Structured personal interviews concerning the social and vocational aspects of acquired hearing loss were carried out with 105 people aged between 24 and 56 years. The data obtained included participants' experiences of hospital referral and the level of information provision. It was found that despite the majority being referred for ENT and audiological consultation immediately by their doctors, few of them received advice regarding the best strategy for adjustment, or for communication. Difficulties in communication in the family environment existed as distance from speaker or numbers of people increased. There was also a decline in contact with relatives and neighbours for a significant minority. Deafness created a two-way problem, equally placing a strain on hearing members of the family. Irritation and frustration was reported, as was the feeling of loneliness. As the majority suffered only a mild hearing loss, the findings gave cause for concern and confirmed the need for an effective rehabilitation and advice structure.
对105名年龄在24至56岁之间的人进行了关于后天性听力损失的社会和职业方面的结构化个人访谈。获得的数据包括参与者的医院转诊经历和信息提供水平。结果发现，尽管大多数人被医生立即转诊至耳鼻喉科和听力科进行咨询，但很少有人得到关于最佳调整策略或沟通策略的建议。随着与说话者距离的增加或人数的增多，家庭环境中的沟通困难也随之出现。相当一部分人还减少了与亲戚和邻居的联系。耳聋造成了一个双向问题，同样给家庭中有听力的成员带来了压力。据报告，存在恼怒和沮丧情绪，还有孤独感。由于大多数人仅患有轻度听力损失，这些发现令人担忧，并证实了建立有效康复和咨询体系的必要性。
