Study Summary

This trial will test whether the "I Manage my hearing loss" program can help people who have failed a hearing screening to visit an audiologist.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 45-85 who have failed a hearing screening or have similar hearing loss on an audiogram, can understand health information, and pass a cognitive test. They should not have ear diseases, nor should they have previously seen an audiologist or used a hearing aid.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the 'iManage my hearing loss' program to see if it encourages people who've failed a hearing screening to visit an audiologist. It educates about the importance of addressing hearing issues and seeking support from others.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since 'iManage' is an educational program rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses as they learn about their condition.
