This was followed by quantitative cluster analysis and chi square analysis. Results: The contentanalysis suggested 39 main categories of responses related to hearing aids. The clusteranalysis resulted in five main clusters, namely: 1) positive attitude, 2) external factors, 3) hearingaid use and satisfaction, 4) etiology, and 5) benefits and limitations of technology. A fewdemographic factors (i.e., education, occupation type, country) showed association with differentclusters, although country of origin seemed to be associated with most clusters. Conclusions:The study provides us with unique insights into the perception of hearing aids bythe general public, and additionally, the way demographic variables may influence these perceptions.
Abstract
Societal factors seem to exercise a strong influence on hearingaid uptake, use, and satisfaction.

Subjects and Methods: The study employed a crosssectionaldesign. A sample of 404 adults from India, Iran, Portugal, and the United Kingdomwere recruited by relying on a convenience sampling. Previously published data was re-analyzedbut it was applied for different approach. Free association task was used to collect thedata.
