Considering Age-Related Hearing Loss in Neuropsychological Practice: Findings from a Feasibility Study.
Canadian Journal on Aging 2018 December 8
ABSTRACTHearing loss is highly prevalent in older adults and can pose challenges for neuropsychologists, as assessment and intervention procedures often involve orally presented information which must be accurately heard. This project examined the hearing status of 20 clients (mean age = 71 years) in a hospital-based outpatient neuropsychology clinic, and explored whether information about hearing loss informed neuropsychologists' clinical practice. A research assistant administered a brief hearing screening test to each participant. Four treating neuropsychologists were asked to comment on their client's hearing status before and after being shown their client's hearing screen test results. Screening revealed that the majority of participants had at least mild hearing loss, and that the neuropsychologists were relatively accurate (60%) at estimating their clients' hearing status. Neuropsychologists used information about a client's hearing status to make recommendations that clients pursue audiologic services, and to educate clients and family members about hearing loss and communication.
