ObjectivesTo explore the associations between self-reported hearing problems and physical performance and self-reported difficulties in mobility and activities of daily living (ADLs) in community-dwelling older adults.DesignCross-sectional cohort study.SettingCommunity.ParticipantsMen and women aged 75 to 90 (N=848).MeasurementsStructured face-to-face interviews to assess perceived hearing problems in the presence of noise, mobility difficulties (moving indoors, stair-climbing, 0.5-km walk, 2-km walk), and difficulties in ADLs and instrumental ADLs. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was administered. Age; years of education; cognitive functioning; and self-reported cardiac, circulatory, and locomotor diseases were used as covariates.ResultsPersons who reported major hearing problems had a lower SPPB total score than those who reported good hearing (mean 9.8 vs 10.9, P=.009), indicating poorer performance, and more difficulties in ADLs (mean 1.8 vs 1.4, P=.002) and IADLs (mean 4.6 vs 3.4, P=.002), after controlling for covariates. They were also more likely to have more difficulty in stair-climbing (odds ratio (OR)=2.8, P
