美國北部聽力保健障礙:明尼蘇達州鄉村與城市居民比較

// Barriers to Hearing Health Care in the Northern US: A Comparison of Rural and Urban Minnesotans

本研究比較明尼蘇達州鄉村與城市居民的聽力健康經驗|鄉村地區聽力損失率較高,但雙方聽力檢測率均偏低,且對聽力健康及醫療補助(Medicaid)認知不足|儘管健康識字率足夠,兩地居民與基層醫療提供者缺乏聽力議題討論,強調需加強公衛教育提升整體聽力健康意識。

// This study compared hearing health experiences between rural and urban Minnesotans using surveys, otoscopy, and audiometric screening. Rural participants showed higher rates of hearing loss but both groups had similarly low hearing test rates and poor awareness of hearing health and Medicaid coverage. Despite adequate health literacy, both rural and urban residents lacked discussion of hearing issues with primary care providers. The study concludes that public health efforts are needed to improve hearing health awareness and education for both populations.
