Research shows people with mild hearing loss are three times more likely to have a history of falling than peers with normal hearing. In this episode, during National Falls Prevention Awareness Week, Dave chats with Dr. Patricia Gaffney, an audiologist with a specialty in vestibular diagnostics and treatment. They talk about emerging research, as well as the important role hearing professionals can play in helping their patients prevent falls.
As the only hearing aid manufacturer with fall detection and alerts built into our hearing aids, this is a topic we are passionate about. To learn more about these features in Starkey hearing aids, watch this video on the Starkey YouTube page.
