Did you know your hearing health plays an important role in helping you maintain your balance?  Hearing loss is the most common chronic condition in the United States, affecting about two-thirds of older adults over 70 years old.  Join this webinar with Brady S. Workman, Au.D. to learn the theories of association between hearing loss and falls risk, hearing loss and cognitive decline, and age-related hearing and vestibular decline.  Strategies to mitigate these risks with the primary goal of reducing falls and promoting healthy aging will be provided.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

  1. Analyze the relationship between hearing loss and balance.
  2. Describe how hearing loss is associated to cognitive decline.
  3. Understand the importance of hearing screenings among older adults as an action to reduce falls risk.
