Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting older adults—yet gaps in diagnosis, referral, and treatment persist across the healthcare system. In this 60-minute webinar, Dr. Kevin Zhan from Northwestern Medicine, who contributed to the development of the new ARHL guidelines, will discuss these recommendations and their potential impact on clinical practice and community outreach efforts.
This session will cover:
- An introduction to the scope and impact of ARHL
- Prevalence data and the current challenges in timely referrals
- The rationale behind the development of the guidelines
- A detailed review of what the guidelines recommend
- Practical strategies for using this information to educate, enhance care and increase referrals from other healthcare providers
Whether you are fitting hearing aids or collaborating across care teams, this webinar will help you align your work with the latest standards and contribute to better outcomes for aging adults with hearing loss.
