  • Hearing Impairment and Elderly People
    Hearing Impairment and Elderly People May 1986 NTIS order #PB86-218559 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Hearing Impairment and Elderly People–A Background Paper, OTA-BP-BA-30 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, May 1986). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 86-600511 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents US. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Preface Hearing impairment is very common among elderly people and can seriously affect their quality of life, personal safety, and ability to function independently. This OTA background paper discusses the prevalence of hearing impairment and its impact on elderly people; hearing devices and services that may benefit them; and problems in the service delivery system that limit access to these devices and services. This background paper is part of the OTA assessment of Technology and Aging in America that was requested by the Senate Special Committee on Aging and the House Select Committee on Aging, and endorsed by the House Committee on Education and Labor. For that assessment OTA selected five chronic conditions for in-depth analysis because of their prevalence and severe impact on elderly people and because of the potential role of technology in their treatment. Hearing impairment is one of these con- ditions; the others are dementia, urinary incontinence, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Many of the chronic conditions that affect elderly people, including the types of hearing impairment that are most common, cannot be cured with available medical and surgical treatments, As a result, some elderly people, their families, and others assume that these conditions are not treatable.
