ObjetivoValorar la realidad social y la percepción funcional que tienen los cuidadores principales acerca de la calidad de vida de los sujetos diagnosticados con disfagia.MétodosLa investigación se desarrolló partiendo de lineamientos de la resolución 008430 del 4 de octubre de 1993, que rige en Colombia las normas científica, técnica y administrativa para la investigación en salud. La elección de la muestra se realizó a partir del estudio de las historias clínicas y el diagnóstico de disfagia; el instrumento fue validado a través del Método Delphi, el cual busca dar confiabilidad a un instrumento a partir de la opinión de un panel de expertos.ResultadosLos cuidadores indican que el mejor dominio en la percepción de calidad de vida del sujeto con disfagia es el psicológico, sin embargo, este se encuentra por debajo del 80%, entendido como una percepción aceptable. Al analizar la individualidad, se detecta como porcentaje más bajo un 53.66% vs. el 84.15% que corresponde al más alto; el resultado promedio evidenció un 68.75% de percepción de calidad de vida, correspondiente según la propuesta de rangos de percepción, a una percepción aceptable; este valor equivale al promedio obtenido de 112.74 puntos de 164 posibles.ConclusionesDesde los aspectos terapéuticos, los profesionales no pueden olvidar al cuidador, ya que es un factor en la rehabilitación que también necesitará atención. No se puede permitir que el cuidador principal genere cansancio, estrés o despreocupación a causa de las largas cargas de trabajo en su labor de cuidar.PurposeTo assess the social reality and the functional perception that the main caregivers have about the quality of life of the subjects diagnosed with dysphagia.MethodsThe research was developed based on the guidelines of resolution 008430 of October 4, 1993, which governs the scientific, technical and administrative standards for health research in Colombia. The choice of the sample was made from the study of the clinical histories and the diagnosis of dysphagia; the instrument was validated through the Delphi method, which seeks to give reliability to an instrument based on the opinion of a panel of experts.ResultsCaregivers indicate that the best domain in the perception of quality of life of the subject with dysphagia is the psychological, but this is below 80%, understood as an acceptable perception. When analyzing the individuality, it is detected as a lower percentage 53.66%, versus 84.15% that corresponds to the highest. The average result showed a 68.75% perception of quality of life, corresponding to an acceptable perception according to the proposed ranges of perception. This value is equivalent to the average obtained of 112.74 points out of 164 possible.ConclusionsFrom the therapeutic aspects, professionals cannot forget the caregiver, since it is a factor in the rehabilitation that will also need attention. The primary caregiver cannot be allowed to create fatigue, stress, or unconcern because of the long workloads in their caring work.

Oticon Improves Internet-Connected Hearing Aids with New ConnectClip

Oticon.jpgOticon (https://www.oticon.com/) has introduced ConnectClip, which turns Oticon's internet-connected hearing aids into wireless headsets for hands-free calls and listening to music or podcasts in stereo. It works with any smartphone, music player, or computer, and it serves as a remote control for Oticon's Opn hearing aids to adjust volume and change programs. Sound from mobile phones is streamed directly to the hearing aids via 2.4GHz Bluetooth Low Energy, and ConnectClip's directional microphones pick up the wearer's voice. ConnectClip can also function as a remote or partner microphone, providing improved intelligibility of the speaker wearing it at a distance of up to 65 feet, in very noisy environments, or a combination of both. ConnectClip can be paired with or connected directly to a computer's built-in Bluetooth or used with the BTD 800 USB dongle.

Putting the Hear in HEARt

Cardiovascular health status is a commonly recognized determinant of hearing loss in adult populations. A recent study out of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has demonstrated pediatric populations are not immune to hearing-heart concerns. Madison et al. (2018) followed a group of 348 children that underwent infant surgery for congenital heart defects. The study team found that 21.6 percent of the children had hearing loss; risk was associated with pre-maturity, confirmed genetic anomaly, and longer postoperative length of stay.
