The residents were referred by the senior staff in the homes and assessed by a doctor and audiology technician in a domiciliary setting. Those found to have a significant hearing impairment were prescribed hearing aids without formal pure tone audiometry. A pilot study compared the method of hearing evaluation employed with such conventional testing. Six months after fitting, the degree of compliance with aiding was assessed. The results show a significant level of undiagnosed deafness in the community and, with this method of provision, an acceptance rate of 41.2 per cent of those recommended for aiding at six months which is higher than suggested by previous similar studies of this population.
