Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to explore difficulties in information access mobility communication and fatigue in people with combined vision and hearing impairments The main question it aims to answer is

What influence do varying severities of vision and hearing loss have on information access mobility communication and fatigue

Participants will fill out questionnaires and the researchers will measure their vision and hearing functions
Detailed Description: People with dual sensory loss have impairments in both vision and hearing When the impairments are severe it will become more difficult to compensate for these impairments This can result in difficulties for example in the areas of access to information communication fatigue andor mobility Now we do not know which problems arise from different combinations and levels of impairments in visual acuity contrast sensitivity visual field hearing threshold directional hearing and speech understanding We also do not know how this influences the areas of access to information communication fatigue and mobility

The objective of this study is to determine which problems arise from different levels of impairments in visual and auditory functions We will especially focus on the areas of access to information communication fatigue and mobility

Study design

Participants visual visual acuity visual field contrast sensitivity and auditory functions hearing threshold directional hearing speech understanding will be measured We will use the following materials

ETDRS card
Vistech card
Octopus perimeter
Affinity compact audiometer
8 Genelec 8020 DPM speakers to measure directional hearing
Digits in Noise DIN test and NVA word lists

Several questionnaires will be filled out to measure difficulties in the areas of access to information communication fatigue and mobility

Dutch ICF Activity Inventory - domains watching TV using a computer using a telephone mobility outdoors walking using public transportation and feeling fit
Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale
Spatial Localization Questionnaire
Fatigue Assessment Scale

Study population

150 people with dual sensory loss
50 people with a visual impairment
50 people with an auditory impairment
50 people with normal vision and hearing
