Personal protective equipment, such as masks and face shields, is negatively impacting the quality of care provided to residents and patients with hearing loss, a survey of healthcare providers has found.  Just more than 85% of survey respondents reported that since the pandemic a patient’s hearing difficulty has either moderately or extremely impacted the quality of care provided. Less than half as many felt it impacted care quality before the pandemic, according to the findings.  “The results of this national survey suggest that the implementation of safety measures such as PPE and physical distancing has altered awareness of hearing difficulties and practice patterns of healthcare providers,” lead author William James Deardorff, M.D., and his University of California colleagues wrote of the survey findings.
