| Abstract |
Age-related hearing loss is a common disorder with important consequences for quality of life. We performed a systematic review of the evidence investigating the effect of age-related hearing loss on cognition and quality of life in the elderly, and evaluated the effect of interventions for hearing loss. There is a large body of evidence associating hearing loss with detriment to physical and mental health, cognition, independence, social interaction and quality of life in the elderly. Hearing rehabilitation programmes, hearing aids and cochlear implants show beneficial effects in restoring communicative ability in this group and subsequently improve quality of life. Furthermore, much of the benefit seen is comparable to that in younger adults. However, both identifying those at need of such interventions and implementing them effectively are sub-optimal. Treatment approaches that better address the difficulties within this group need to be developed and the role significant others have to play in hearing rehabilitation should be explored. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 14 May 2019.
All research outputs
#7,355,005
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Maturitas
#1,060
of 2,809 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,552
of 314,532 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Maturitas
#25
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,809 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
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 314,532 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
