Recent findings from the ACHIEVE study highlight a clinically significant link between adult-onset hearing loss and fall risk. In this randomized trial of older adults with untreated hearing loss, those using hearing aids experienced 27% fewer falls compared to untreated peers. The effect was consistent across diverse participant backgrounds, underscoring the universal benefit of addressing hearing loss.
These results reinforce the importance of hearing care as part of fall-prevention strategies, suggesting mechanisms such as improved spatial awareness, balance, and reduced cognitive load.
