Objective: to design and implement an educative intervention aimed at preparing older adult patients with presence of sensorineural hearing loss regarding the use of hearing aids for auditory rehabilitation attended at the Centro Auditivo “Dr. Mario Velázquez Leal”, Guantánamo, in 2019. Method: a pre-experimental study was conducted on 80 patients with sensorineural hearing loss who used hearing aids. The stimulus consisted on the implementation of an educative intervention aimed at preparing them for appearance hearing loss and the use of hearing aids for auditory rehabilitation. Results: the 88.7% of patients considering that hearing loss is a problem in health and 87.5% recognized that they had an inadequate attitude towards the management of their impairment, which revealed the need to educate them on the subject. The 36.2% of patients were adequately prepared on the subject, but after the educative intervention this proportion rose to 93.7%. Conclusions: it is marked that older adult patients with sensorineural hearing loss, who use hearing aids for auditory rehabilitation, demonstrated theoretical deficiencies on the hearing loss and use of hearing aids subject, which are solved with the design and implementation of an educative intervention aimed at preparing the patients for this purpose.REFERENCES
