Abstract
The provision of hearing aid related services is commonly centered on audiometric thresholds and/or loudness growth functions and counseling of clients. However, when the clients are older adults (65 years and above), it is sometimes necessary to consider several health issues that are unrelated to hearing. This article describes various health problems of older adults and the obstacles that these problems may pose for hearing instrument related service delivery. Consideration of these issues have the potential to improve overall service delivery and customer satisfaction, which may in turn result in increased utilization of hearing instruments by all client demographic groups.
