提供最新的研究和政策发展，影响2300万未治疗听力损失的美国老年人的当前和未来护理。越来越多的证据支持与年龄相关的听力损失与影响老年人衰老能力的重大负面结果之间的关联。尽管人们对听力损失在老年人的健康和活力中所起的作用有了不断发展的理解，但绝大多数老年人未经治疗，听力保健差异仍然存在。最近的工作是了解听力保健决策所涉及的众多因素，再加上提供听力保健的创新方法和技术，旨在为更多的老年人提供平等的机会，以获得良好的年龄所需的工具。最重要的是，重要的国家努力和政策建议证实了这些努力，将对其进行审查。听力损失是一个严重的公共卫生问题，几乎影响所有老年人。通过应用新的方法和观点，为老年人提供听力保健正在不断发展，以提供更实惠和更方便的护理。配套的政策努力为大幅增加获得护理的机会提供了必要的支持。
To provide an update on the recent research and policy developments affecting the current and future care of the 23 million older Americans with untreated hearing loss. Increasing evidence supports the association of age-related hearing loss with significant negative outcomes that affect the ability of older adults to age well. Despite an evolving understanding of the role hearing loss plays in the well-being and vitality of older adults, the vast majority of older adults go untreated and hearing healthcare disparities exist. Recent work to understand the multitude of factors involved in hearing healthcare decisions, coupled with innovative approaches and technology to deliver hearing care, aim to provide more older adults with equal access to the tools needed to age well. Most importantly, significant national efforts and policy proposals substantiate these efforts, and will be reviewed. Age-related hearing loss is a critical public health issue that affects almost all older adults. Through the application of novel approaches and perspectives, the delivery of hearing healthcare for older adults is evolving in order to provide more affordable and accessible care. Accompanying policy efforts provide the necessary support needed to increase access to care significantly.
