However, the null findings in the male-only CHAMP preclude firm conclusions of a link between hearing loss and falls risk. Hearing is adequate for all purposes. Hearing is a slight...

Because of this, researchers studying age-related hearing loss should aim to provide a stereotype threat-free testing environment and also include assessments of stereotype threat within their studies. The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age [ 1 ]. Because of this, some people...
