Hearing Aid Use for the Elderly Over the Age of 80 Years
The prevalence of moderate or profound hearing loss that may require a hearing aid increases after 80 years of age. The benefits of compensating for hearing impairment are not only to improve communication skills, but also to maintain the interactions between the individual and society. The need to start the elderly over the age of 80 years on hearing aid use is expected to increase from hereon.
