Association of Hearing Impairment and Subsequent Driving Mobility in Older Adults

Hearing impairment (HI) is associated with driving safety (e.g., increased crashes and poor on-road driving performance). However, little is known about HI and driving mobility. This study examined the longitudinal association of audiometric hearing with older adults' driving mobility over 3 years.Secondary data analyses were conducted of 500 individuals (63-90 years of age) from the Staying Keen in Later Life (SKILL) study. Hearing (pure tone...
