Effect of Hearing Status on Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes of Collegiate Athletes

CONCLUSIONS: Athletes who are D/HoH have poorer knowledge of concussions but similar attitudes toward concussion as that of athletes who are hearing. Current concussion educational interventions are in written or spoken form which may not be inclusive to athletes who are D/HoH. Health care professionals should consider an athlete's preferred communication mode to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education.PMID:38253049 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0063
