Can Consumers and Audiologists Detect Ear Disease Prior to Hearing Aid use? -Evaluation of CEDRA and PEDRA
Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lay persons and non-physician hearing healthcare providers (e.g. audiologists) can detect ear disease using focused questionnaires (Consumer Ear Disease Risk Assessment [CEDRA] & audiologist based Ear Disease Risk Assessment tool [PEDRA])? The overarching goal of this work is to decrease the cost and increase accessibility of hearing aids and related hearing healthcare services while protecting consumers from the consequences of unrecognized ear disease. In so doing, we will also decrease the cost burden to the overall healthcare system by encouraging only those consumers with high risk of ear disease to seek medical services rather than the current model that encourages all consumers with age related hearing loss to receive medical clearance prior to hearing aid purchase.
