Narratives of identity: understanding the experiences of adults with hearing loss who use hearing aids

We aimed to determine the identities that adults with hearing loss construct when telling stories about their experiences with hearing loss and hearing aids. Determining and understanding these identities is important because research shows that who a person believes themselves to be has implications for how they approach their healthcare, along with their emotional and physical wellbeing.
