Most Older Americans Need Hearing Checks, But Many Aren’t Getting Them
Even though research has shown that at least 50% of older adults suffer some degree of hearing loss, a new study finds that most aren’t getting their hearing checked.
A national survey of more than 2,000 adults, aged 50 to 80, found that 80% said their primary care doctor hadn’t asked about their hearing in the past two years. Nearly as many said they haven’t had their hearing checked by a professional over the same time period.
