An analysis of 27 previous studies, including Australian data, has found that people with hearing loss are at higher risk of falls. The study found that people with hearing loss had a 51% higher chance of having a fall at a single point in time or a 17% higher chance of having a fall over time. The researchers say doctors and policymakers should be aware of the ramifications of hearing health on aging and explore the potential role of hearing intervention for fall prevention.
