Hearing loss is recognized as one of the most significant global burdens of disease and as such affects the individual, his family, network of acquaintances, the health system and the entire economy. A large part of the population at risk for acquiring hearing loss are users of nursing homes, which represent an unstimulating and demanding communication environment due to the pronounced background noise. Considering the importance of communication for the quality of life, it can be suspected that their users are also at risk of its reduction due to untreated acquired hearing loss, which often accompanies aging and communication-unadapted environments. The aim of this work is to examine the information and attitudes of nursing home staff about hearing difficulties and rehabilitation options, in order to gain insight into how they can reduce the risk of untreated hearing loss in the population they care for and improve their quality of life. For the purposes of the research, a 23-item questionnaire was created, and it was filled out by 67 employees of three nursing homes in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the descriptive analysis show insufficient knowledge of the terminology and classification of hearing loss, as well as insufficient confidence in handling hearing aids. Also, the occasional presence of stigmatization and negative attitudes towards hearing aids among research participants is observed, as well as insufficient recognition of the importance of rehabilitation procedures, but most participants show awareness of the negative consequences of hearing loss. Using non-parametric statistics, differences were found between employees who during education had the opportunity to learn about hearing loss and those who did not, that is, those employees who had the opportunity scored a better result on the questionnaire. Research participants express the need for additional information and motivation to attend additional education or lectures on hearing loss and hearing rehabilitation. In the future, it is necessary to realize such educations and in other ways to share the necessary information and communication guidelines adapted to an environment such as a home for the elderly and thus influence the reduction of the risk of untimely diagnosis of hearing loss among the elderly population.
