Modification of the Association Between Hearing Trouble and Satisfaction With Care by Accompaniment to Health Care Visits
Medicare beneficiaries with hearing loss had higher odds of dissatisfaction with health care over the past year compared to those without functional hearing loss. Stratified models suggest that accompaniment may modify the association between hearing and dissatisfaction with care. Future research should consider interventions to support unaccompanied adults with hearing loss during health care interactions.
