This study developed and implemented a hearing care program in rural Alabama, focusing on aural rehabilitation (AR) and training community health workers (CHWs) to assist people with hearing loss using over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC HAs). The program was part of a clinical trial and took place from 2021 to 2024. The process was guided by experts and input from CHWs, with refinements made after implementation. Future studies will evaluate the program’s success through speech tests and surveys from participants in rural areas.
