TL;DR: The analysis suggests that behavioural planning might be more likely to occur if audiologists’ psychological capability, physical and social opportunity, and reflective and automatic motivation were addressed and this analysis forms the basis of an intervention design to encourage behavioural planning by audiologists and subsequent hearing-aid use by people with hearing loss.

TL;DR: The long-term effectiveness of interventions to promote the use of hearing aids in adults with acquired hearing loss fitted with at least one hearing aid was assessed and there was no evidence of a statistically significant effect on quality of life over the medium term.

TL;DR: The relationship between lateral canal vestibular occular reflex gain measured using the vHIT system and canal paresis indicated using air calorics in a sample of patients attending a clinic for balance disorder is explored.

TL;DR: There is considerable diversity in patient-reported outcome measurements in randomized control trials in the context of adult auditory rehabilitation, and there are gaps in the literature with respect to measurement of other outcome types of potential interest to stakeholders, including policymakers and commissioners.
