Self-reported experiences of incidents and injury events in traffic among hearing impaired people as pedestrians and cyclists. A follow-up study of mobility and use of hearing equipment
对21名听力受损患者进行随访，发现90%自报在交通中感到安全，但他们因难以辨别声音方向而更易受伤，研究建议专业人员关注其应对策略以提升移动性和伤害预防。
Patients with hearing impairments have no self-reported experiences of feeling insecure in the traffic environment. A follow-up study was conducted with 21 patients after the rehabilitation process at the Hearing Centre and the Accident Analysis Group, University Hospital in Umeå, Sweden and 90 per cent of the respondents reported feeling safe in traffic. However, the hearing impaired are more vulnerable than others because they find it difficult to identify in which direction sounds made by cyclists and motorists are actually coming from. In the future, professionals would gain more knowledge about mobility and injury prevention if they tried to detect the coping strategies used by patients with hearing impairments.
