| Abstract |
The purpose of this article was to highlight the importance of hearing health care beyond the clinic for older people with impaired hearing. To emphasize factors affecting the success of audiologic rehabilitation for older people and to describe practical clinical and community-based strategies to promote successful hearing health care. Older people are not always aware of the extent of their hearing loss, they may not always expect to benefit from using a hearing aid, and they often have low self-efficacy for managing to learn to use hearing aids. Increased knowledge and support from other health professionals, family caregivers and significant others could optimize older peoples' participation in everyday activities. Further work is needed to develop new interventions for older people with impaired hearing and to increase collaboration with general practitioners as well as other health-care professionals. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 June 2015.
All research outputs
#15,168,167
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Audiology
#510
of 907 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,306
of 279,987 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Audiology
#7
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 907 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,987 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
