Perceived listening ability and hearing loss: Systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study focuses on understanding how adults with hearing loss (HL) think about and describe their listening experiences, which is crucial for improving interventions and outcomes related to communication challenges caused by HL.
  • - A systematic review was conducted, reviewing 46 qualitative studies through detailed searches across multiple databases, focusing on adults' perceptions of their listening abilities.
  • - Thematic analysis revealed six key themes impacting listening: perceived ability, external factors, psychosocial effects, views of communication partners, self-efficacy, and cognitive load, indicating various influences on how individuals with HL experience listening.

Article Abstract

Background: Hearing loss (HL) can affect communication in complex ways. Understanding how adults with HL reflect on and conceptualise the way they listen (metacognition) is required if interventions, and the outcome measures used to evaluate them, are to address barriers to functional communication arising from HL.

Objectives: This study describes how adults with HL experience and report the processes, behaviours, and components of listening, as presented in published studies.

Design: Systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

Methods: Systematic searches identified English-language, peer-reviewed journal articles reporting the results of qualitative or mixed-methods studies of adults' with HL perceived listening abilities. Medline, PsychInfo, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to November 2021. Handsearching reference lists of included studies identified additional studies for inclusion. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) qualitative checklist was used to appraise studies' methodological quality. Data from included studies were analysed using thematic meta-synthesis. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of QUALitative (CERQual) approach assessed confidence in the review findings. Two reviewers independently completed all screening and quality appraisal. Thematic meta-synthesis and GRADE CERQual assessment was completed by one reviewer and confirmed by a second reviewer. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion.

Results: Data from 46 studies were included in the review. Thematic meta-synthesis identified six descriptive themes: 1) perceived listening ability; 2) external modifiers; 3) psychosocial impacts of hearing loss; 4) communication partner perspectives; 5) self-efficacy for listening; and 6) cognitive load. GRADE CERQual ratings for descriptive themes ranged from low to moderate confidence. Descriptive themes were related by analytic themes of liminality and reciprocity.

Conclusions: Adults with HL provide in-depth accounts of components and processes of listening, with studies reporting both cognitive and affective experiences consistent with theoretical models of metacognition. The findings will inform content generation for a hearing-specific patient-reported outcome measure of perceived listening ability in everyday communication.
