PRE-CLINICAL: Stages of Behaviour Change. Help Seeking and Acceptance of…

- - - - -The stigma of HL and HAs is often reinforced by:
        *Hearing professionals- "youll have to grow your hair longer"
        *Partners - negative perception of HAs "I think HAs are just horriby ugly"
        *Marketing/Media - "your HA will be invisible to others"
- - - - Repeat this process for other common responses:
        1) I'm not sure I'll be able to manage these hearing aids
        2) What would you do?
        3) So is my hearing really bad then?
        4) I'm worried about this change in my hearing?
        5) HAs are for old people
        6) (About HAs) They're big aren't they?
        7) (About HAs) They're ugly aren't they?
        8) I don't like the idea of HAs
        9) I've only come here because my family have made me
        10) I don't have any problems with my hearing
        11) Don't ever get old.
        
        P: "I've only come here because my family have made me"
        A: Unhelpful: (Most people your age have a hearing loss) (Don't worry about what they think) (Lets see what the tests tell us) (A HA will fix the problem)
        A: Helpful: (You've come to the right place, praising their action) (What would they say..?) (How do you fee about your hearing / what have you noticed?) (Impact on life / others) (Ask them first and then involve others) (outline roles and overview of the appointment)
        
        So is my hearing really bad then?
        A: Unhelpful: (It could be worse) (Avoiding the question) (Let me explain again) (Yes) (No)
        A: Helpful: (What do you think?) (Tell me why you're asking) (Reassurance) (How are you feeling about the results?)
