Objectives: This study aims to investigate hearing aid using rate, patient satisfaction rate and achievements in social communication of patients by assessing the hearing thresholds before and after device use in patients who were determined as suitable for hearing aid use. Patients and Methods: Hundred eighty patients who were admitted to Otolaryngology Clinic of Sakarya University Medical Faculty and approved of hearing aid usage between January 2013 and May 2013 were included in the study. Patients 21 males, 26 females; mean age 61.91±12.82; range 24 to 85 years were performed free field audiometry with and without the device by the same audiometrist and Turkish version of the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids by the same otolaryngologist. Results: Of patients, 14.28% did not obtain the hearing aid even though they received a hearing aid approval report. Assessment of the answers of inventory questions revealed that 87% of patients used hearing aid more than four hours a day, 72% benefited significantly from hearing aid, and 64% had no complaint or had few complaints compared to the before-hearing aid period. Conclusion: Using hearing aid affects daily activities of patients slightly or moderately and increases their communication skills.

Hastalara 21 erkek, 26 kadın; ort. yaş 61.91±12.82 yıl; dağılım 24-85 yıl aynı odyometrist tarafından cihazlı ve cihazsız serbest saha odyometresi ve aynı kulak burun boğaz uzmanı tarafından Uluslararası İşitme Cihazları Değerlendirme Envanteri’nin Türkçe sürümü uygulandı.Bulgular: Hastaların %14.28’i işitme cihazı onayı raporu almasına rağmen işitme cihazını edinmedi. Envanter sorularının cevapları değerlendirildiğinde hastaların %87’sinin işitme cihazını günde dört saatten fazla kullandığı, %72’sinin işitme cihazından anlamlı şekilde faydalandığı ve %64’ünün işitme cihazı öncesi döneme kıyasla hiç yakınması olmadığı veya birkaç yakınması olduğu ortaya çıktı.Sonuç: İşitme cihazı kullanımı hastaların günlük aktivitelerini çok az veya orta derecede etkiler ve iletişim becerilerini artırır
