Hearing health in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) is an essential, yet often overlooked, aspect of overall care. Many residents in these facilities are older adults, a population in which hearing loss is highly prevalent. Addressing hearing health can significantly improve residents' quality of life, communication, social engagement, and overall well-being.
Nursing home residents often face logistical challenges in accessing hearing care, such as transportation to appointments.
Hearing loss may go unnoticed by staff, residents, or families due to gradual progression.
Many nursing home residents experience varying degrees of hearing loss, often linked to aging or chronic conditions.
Residents with hearing aids may struggle to maintain and use them due to cognitive or physical impairments, and staff may not always be trained to assist.
Communication difficulties between residents, staff, and families. Increased risk of social withdrawal, loneliness, and decreased participation in activities. Misinterpretation of behavioral issues, which may be linked to hearing impairment, as cognitive decline or mental health issues.
