Description
A large trial of hearing care for older adults needed a treatment package that every site would deliver the same way. Chisolm, Sanchez, and Arnold describe how the ACHIEVE hearing intervention was designed and rolled out. The team built it through rounds of expert input and a feasibility test, then fixed it in a manual. The package pairs hearing aids and related devices with counseling, coaching, and education so patients can manage their own hearing loss.
After a full hearing exam, each patient sets personal listening goals with a standard scale, and those goals steer the choice of devices. The most common goals were conversation in noise, conversation in quiet, and hearing the television at normal volume. Devices ranged over three technology levels, and extras such as streaming tools and remote microphones were added as needed. The authors explain how goal setting kept delivery faithful across the trial.
