Objective: To investigate the impact of hearing aid (HA) and cochlear implant (CI) use on loneliness in adults.Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study.Methods: One hundred and thirteen adults, aged > 50 years, with postlingual hearing loss and receiving routine clinical care at a tertiary academic medical center, were evaluated with the University of California at Los Angeles Loneliness Scale before and 6 and 12 months after intervention with HAs or CIs.
