听力损失是一个主要的公共卫生问题，影响着英国1100多万人。虽然助听器是听力损失最常见的临床干预措施，但大多数人都不会从使用助听器中受益。最近的技术进步导致传统助听器的替代听力设备迅速增加。这些产品包括可以使用智能手机定制的助听器、基于智能手机的“助听器”应用程序、个人扩声产品和无线助听产品。然而，目前还没有发表系统的综述来评估替代助听器对听力损失患者是否是一种有效的管理策略。本系统综述的目的是评估替代助听器是否对听力损失的成人有效的干预。方法按照系统评价和荟萃分析方案首选报告项目（PRISMA-P） 2015清单进行报告。回顾性或前瞻性研究、随机对照试验、非随机对照试验和前后比较研究均符合纳入条件。我们将纳入有轻度或中度听力损失的成年受试者（≥18岁）的研究。干预应该是一种替代传统助听器的聆听装置（比较）。研究将仅限于与听力损失相关的结果。我们将检索相关数据库，以确定已发表的、已完成但未发表的和正在进行的试验。纳入证据的总体质量将使用GRADE系统进行评估，并在适当的情况下进行荟萃分析。预计不会出现道德问题。研究结果将在国家和国际会议上报告，主要是听力学，耳鼻喉学，以及使用PRISMA指南的同行评议期刊。普洛斯彼罗CRD4201502958。
Hearing loss is a major public health concern, affecting over 11 million people in the UK. While hearing aids are the most common clinical intervention for hearing loss, the majority of people that would benefit from using hearing aids do not take them up. Recent technological advances have led to a rapid increase of alternative listening devices to conventional hearing aids. These include hearing aids that can be customised using a smartphone, smartphone-based ‘hearing aid’ apps, personal sound amplification products and wireless hearing products. However, no systematic review has been published evaluating whether alternative listening devices are an effective management strategy for people with hearing loss. The objective of this systematic review is to assess whether alternative listening devices are an effective intervention for adults with hearing loss. Methods are reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 checklist. Retrospective or prospective studies, randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials, and before-after comparison studies will be eligible for inclusion. We will include studies with adult participants (≥18 years) with a mild or moderate hearing loss. The intervention should be an alternative listening device to a conventional hearing aid (comparison). Studies will be restricted to outcomes associated with the consequences of hearing loss. We will search relevant databases to identify published, completed but unpublished and ongoing trials. The overall quality of included evidence will be evaluated using the GRADE system, and meta-analysis performed if appropriate. No ethical issues are foreseen. The findings will be reported at national and international conferences, primarily audiology, and ear, nose and throat, and in a peer-reviewed journal using the PRISMA guidelines.
