Department of Allied Health Sciences: Understanding the Association Between Hearing Loss and Falls
Wed. 14 Apr, 2021 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Understanding the Association Between Hearing Loss and Falls: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
Falls and falls-related injuries result in substantial morbidity, mortality, and disability among older adults. This presentation will discuss current knowledge on the association between sensorineural hearing loss & falls as well as a proposed mechanistic model. Preliminary results on whether the association is modified by hearing healthcare intervention (i.e. hearing aids and/or cochlear implants) will also be discussed.
