Abstract:Accessible Summary
Annual health checks for people with learning disabilities should include a check of hearing. However, this hearing check only involves asking questions about hearing and does not include an actual hearing test.
We tested the hearing of people with learning disabilities in the community.
We found that some people had hearing problems that had not been picked up at their annual health check.
We think the annual health check should be changed to include a hearing test.
