Hearing and Balance

The purpose of our study is to increase our understanding of how hearing affects balance performance in older adults. This will help us know whether older adults with balance concerns should be screened for hearing loss and whether use of hearing aids may be important for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults with hearing loss.
