Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the profile of publications on methods and instruments used to screen older adults hearing.

Methods: the scientific production on older adults hearing screening methods, searching for articles published between 2016 and 2022. Data were collected from PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases and the articles were categorized according to their year, study type, authors, and screening instrument. Data were also analyzed to suggest potential aspects to be addressed in future research in the area.

Literature Review: altogether, 26 articles were found based on the eligibility criteria. Publications peaked in 2016, followed by 2020. Articles published in the United States predominated (18%), and HHIE-S (hearing handicap inventory for the elderly screening version) was the most used instrument; 90% of the publications were in English, and the most recurrent study type was cross-sectional, followed by instrument validation studies.

Conclusion: the review points out the scarcity of scientific production on older adults hearing screening in both national and international research. The studies approached different populations, screening methods, hearing loss definitions, health systems, and public policies in the countries where they were conducted. Better methodologies must be implemented for future research in the area.

Resumo

Objetivo: analisar o perfil das publicações a respeito dos métodos e instrumentos utilizados para realizar triagem auditiva em idosos.

Métodos: esta pesquisa revisou a produção científica sobre métodos de triagem auditiva no idoso. A busca deu-se com artigos publicados entre 2016 e 2022. Os dados foram coletados nas bases de dados: PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science e Google Scholar. Os artigos foram categorizados quanto ao ano, tipo de artigo, autores e instrumento de triagem.  Além disto, os dados foram analisados com sugestões de aspectos potenciais a serem considerados para futuras pesquisas na área.

Revisão da Literatura: foram encontrados 26 artigos com base nos critérios de elegibilidade. O pico de publicações referente ao estudo ocorreu no ano de 2016, seguido por 2020. Predominaram os estudos publicados no Estados Unidos (18%), o instrumento mais utilizado foi o HHIE-S, 90% das publicações estão na língua inglesa, e o tipo de estudo mais realizado é a pesquisa transversal, seguida dos Estudos de validação dos instrumentos.

Conclusão: o estudo mostra a escassez de produção científica sobre triagem auditiva do idoso nas pesquisas nacionais e internacionais. Foram observadas variações da população e dos métodos de triagem, diferenças nas definições de perda auditiva entre os estudos elegíveis e diferenças nos sistemas de saúde e políticas públicas dos países em que esses estudos foram realizados. É necessária melhor implementação metodológica em futuras pesquisas na área.
