“…In women, vision disorders were ranked seventh and adultonset hearing loss was ranked ninth. 5 The Beaver Dam Study investigators reported associations between hearing loss and both age-related maculopathy (ARM) 6 and cataract 7 in the Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study (EHLS). In the National Health Interview Study, persons reporting combined vision and hearing loss had significantly poorer HRQOL, with adverse effects on physical, emotional, and social functioning; they were 3 times more likely to have difficulty walking, getting outside, getting into or out of bed or a chair, preparing meals, and managing medications.…”

“…6,7 Inbothstudies,statisticallysignificantassociationswerefound between hearing loss and both age-related cataract (nuclear or cortical cataract, or previous cataract surgery) and ARM. The cataract relationship was similar between the 2 studies, while, for ARM, some differences in findings between the 2 studies were evident.…”

To assess associations between agerelated vision and hearing impairments and whether combined sensory losses magnify effects on health-related quality of life.Methods: Seventy-five percent of survivors (n=2334) were reexamined at Blue Mountains Eye Study 5-year examinations and 86.3% (2015) attended hearing assessments. Visual impairment was defined as visual acuity less than 20/40 (better eye), and hearing impairment as average pure-tone air conduction threshold greater than 25 dB (500-4000 Hz, better ear).Results: Persons with visual impairment, compared with those without visual impairment, had lower mean audiometric thresholds across all frequencies (PՅ.05). For each 1-line (5-letter) reduction in best-corrected visual acuity and presenting visual acuity, hearing loss prevalence increased by 18% and 13%, respectively. Cataract

Purpose To determine which, if any, vision variables are associated with moderate bilateral hearing loss in an elderly population. Methods Four hundred and forty six subjects completed a hearing screening in conjunction with measurements on a variety of vision tests including high contrast acuity, low contrast acuity measured under a variety of lighting conditions, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis, and colour vision. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between various vision variables and hearing impairment while controlling for demographic and other co-morbid conditions. Results In this sample of older adults with a mean age of 79.9 years, 5.4% of individuals were moderately visually impaired (binocular high contrast VA worse than 0.54 logMAR, Snellen equivalent 6/21 or 20/70) and 12.8% were moderately bilaterally hearing impaired (hearing none of the 40 dB tones at 500, 2000 or 4000 Hz in either ear). Three measures of low contrast acuity, but not high contrast acuity or other vision measures, were significantly associated with hearing loss when controlling for age, cataract surgery history, glaucoma history and self reported stroke, all of which were significantly associated with hearing loss, although the association of glaucoma with hearing loss was negative. Conclusions Poorer vision for low contrast targets was associated with an increased risk of hearing impairment in older adults. Audiologists and optometrists should enquire about the other sense in cases in which a deficit is measured as individuals with dual sensory loss are at a marked disadvantage in daily life
