Caring for older adults with hearing loss.
This article discusses hearing impairment and the frequency with which it occurs in older adults. Anatomy and physiology of the ear are examined. Categories of hearing loss, causes, assessment and management are explored, including hearing aids, auditory implants and approaches to communication with hearing-impaired patients.
متن کاملHearing loss in older adults.
Hearing loss affects approximately one-third of adults 61 to 70 years of age and more than 80 percent of those older than 85 years. Men usually experience greater hearing loss and have earlier onset compared with women. The most common type is age-related hearing loss; however, many conditions can interfere with the conduction of sound vibrations to the inner ear and their conversion to electri...
متن کاملScreening for hearing loss in older adults.
The Task Force reviewed research studies on the use of screening tools to identify older adults who might have hearing loss. The recommendation summarizes what it learned about the potential benefits and harms of this screening: There is not enough evidence to determine whether screening helps people who are not aware of hearing loss or who think their hearing is worse but have not chosen to ta...
متن کاملAudiovisual deficits in older adults with hearing loss: biological evidence.
OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of hearing loss (HL) on audiovisual (AV) processing in the aging population. We hypothesized that age-related HL would have a pervasive effect on sensory processing, extending beyond the auditory domain. Specifically, we predicted that decreased auditory input to the neural system, in the form of HL over time, would have deleterious effects on multisensory mechan...
متن کاملCognitive spare capacity in older adults with hearing loss
Individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) are associated with speech recognition in adverse conditions, reflecting the need to maintain and process speech fragments until lexical access can be achieved. When working memory resources are engaged in unlocking the lexicon, there is less Cognitive Spare Capacity (CSC) available for higher level processing of speech. CSC is essential f...
