Description
Alison Huang, Roger O'Sullivan, and James Lubben wrote this conference paper, published in 2023. It frames a session on hearing and vision loss in older adults, and how these losses tie to isolation, loneliness, and mood disorders.
Two-thirds of older adults have hearing loss, and over a quarter have vision problems. The session looks at links between measured hearing, vision, and combined loss and social and mental health in a national sample. It also weighs causes such as fatigue and clinics that shut out people with sensory loss. A final talk shares results from a trial testing whether hearing aids and related support improve social and mental health. The authors treat both losses as risks that can be acted on.
