Abstract

This study explores how Generation Z navigates reading practices in the digital era, particularly within the context of infinite scroll architecture and the attention economy. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, non-participatory observation, and content analysis involving 28 university students aged 18–23. Thematic analysis revealed five key findings: (1) information overload and the illusion of novelty lead to a preference for speed over depth; (2) skimming serves as an efficient survival strategy but results in superficial understanding; (3) despite the dominance of fast content, participants still long for deep reading experiences; (4) visual cues, such as emojis and memes, influence engagement and credibility judgments; (5) hybrid literacy strategies emerge as a way to balance quick consumption with in-depth analysis. The study highlights the adaptive strategies that Generation Z uses to manage the tension between fast, fragmented content and the desire for sustained engagement. The implications of these findings suggest that educators should promote hybrid literacy approaches in the curriculum, encouraging students to combine fast and slow reading practices. For platform designers, incorporating features that facilitate both quick access to information and opportunities for deeper engagement could improve the quality of digital reading experiences.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity, and functional impact of hearing loss (HL) in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. A total of 400 participants, aged 12 to 70 years, were enrolled in the study, and data were collected using pure-tone audiometry (PTA) and the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA). The results indicated that 18% of participants had some form of HL, with 22% meeting the criteria for disabling HL (≥35 dB HL). The severity of HL ranged from mild to profound, with 55% of participants exhibiting no measurable HL. Sensorineural HL was the most common type (60%), followed by conductive (24%) and mixed (10%) types. Bivariate analysis revealed that older age (≥60 years) and occupational noise exposure were significantly associated with HL ≥35 dB HL. The multivariable logistic regression model confirmed that age and occupational noise exposure were independent predictors of HL. Furthermore, hearing aid users reported significantly lower HHIA scores, indicating reduced psychosocial burden compared to non-users. This study highlights the need for early detection, public health interventions, and increased access to hearing aids, particularly in rural areas. The findings also demonstrate the importance of occupational noise control and workplace interventions to reduce the risk of HL in high-noise environments. The study contributes to the understanding of HL in Pakistan, offering valuable insights for improving hearing care accessibility and policy development.
