To date, research investigating hearing aid adoption has focused on intra-individual factors (i.e., variables related to a given individual). In contrast, comparatively less emphasis has been devoted to understanding how inter-individual (i.e., interpersonal) or contextual factors (i.e., situational) factors contribute to patient decision making regarding hearing aid adoption. This presentation will outline theoretical factors relevant to improve our understanding as well as be exposed to recent large-scale research studies in support of this view.

This course will help attendees understand the differing characteristics and behaviors of a new generation of hearing aid consumers and ways to adapt current hearing care business practices to attract, communicate, and work with this new consumer segment.
