Introduction: Psychological and social effects of infertility may cause decline in the quality of life of infertile couples. A cross sectional study was conducted among 100 infertile couples, to find out the association between level of stress, anxiety and depression with their quality of life. Materials and methods: Data was collected using demographic and fertility information questionnaire, depression anxiety and stress scale (DASS-42) and fertility quality of life (fertiQol-malayalam). Results: Infertile couples experiences higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress and it is more among women,(depression-(15.36 +_ 9.23), stress(16.3+-7.52) anxiety (9.36+_6.33) than men (depression(12.52+_10.30 )(P=0.030), stress(12.84+_ 7.94 )(P=0-002 ) anxiety(7.50+_5-55). Levels of depression, anxiety and stress have significant negative relation with their quality of life. Infertile women has significantly lower quality of life (P= 0.002) than men. Conclusion: Interventions, to reduce depression, anxiety and stress among infertile couples may be helpful to improve their quality of life.

AbstractObjectives:Bone-anchored hearing aid recipients experience well documented improvements in their audiometric performance and quality of life. While hearing aid recipients may understate their functional improvement, their partners may be more aware of such improvement. We sought to investigate patients' partners' perceptions of functional improvement following bone-anchored hearing aid fitting.Methods:Surveys were sent to 153 patients who had received a bone-anchored hearing aid through the Nova Scotia bone-anchored hearing aid programme. The validated survey asked patients' partners to give their subjective impression of the bone-anchored hearing aid recipient's functional status.Results and conclusions:Surveys were completed by 90 patients (58.8 per cent), of whom 72 reported having a partner. Partners reported a significant improvement in hearing (p ≤ 0.0001). Partners reported improvement in 87.0 per cent of functional scenarios, no change in 12.6 per cent, and a decline in 0.4 per cent. These findings demonstrate a significant improvement in the emotional and social effects of hearing impairment, as perceived by bone-anchored hearing aid recipients' partners.
