The Factors Associated with a Self-Perceived Hearing Handicap in Elderly People with Hearing Impairment-Results from a Community-Based Study
Ear and Hearing, 09/17/09
Chang HP et al. – The study findings, consistent with those of previous studies, demonstrated that not all elderly persons with impaired hearing function (hearing impairment) perceived a hearing deficit socially or emotionally in everyday life (hearing handicap). Because hearing deterioration is a common biologic process of aging, the results of this study can be used to identify the groups among elderly people with a greater need for hearing screening and hearing rehabilitation services.
