Clinic-based audiological rehabilitative service delivery
Participants will have scheduled clinic-based visits at 6 and 12 months post-randomization to reinforce self-management strategies and perform hearing aid checks.
Telehealth audiological rehabilitative service delivery
Participants' scheduled clinic-based visits will be complemented with asynchronous and synchronous telehealth that will allow for routine troubleshooting of communication challenges, hearing aid technical issues, and reinforcement of self-management support strategies. At an initial session, participants will be instructed in the use of a study-provided, internet-enabled tablet device for telehealth sessions, re-introduced to the hearing loss toolkit for self-management and C2Hear Reusable Learning Objects within the context of the telehealth platform, re-evaluated on the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) goals. Two remote follow-up sessions will be scheduled 3 and 6 weeks later to confirm participants' comfort with the telehealth platform and then completed every 6 months, in addition to scheduled 6-month clinic-based visits.
