Abstract:
An inexpensive hearing assistance device can improve communication with nursing home residents. In patients who do not have prescribed hearing aids or who are being audiologically evaluated, voice amplification with such a device facilitates initial assessment as well as ongoing care. Such devices are available at local consumer outlets for under $30, making them available to persons who are unable to afford more sophisticated models.
