September is hashtag , an important opportunity to highlight the connection between hearing health and fall risk. Studies show that older adults with hearing loss are up to three times more likely to experience a fall, underscoring the need for audiologists to play an active role in prevention.
Starkey Hearing has integrated innovative fall-risk technology into our hearing technology. Our balance assessment tool provides clinicians with objective data to evaluate postural stability over time, supporting clinical decision-making and patient counseling. In addition, our fall detection and alert system leverages built-in sensors to automatically notify selected contacts if a fall occurs—enhancing patient safety and peace of mind.
By combining hearing care with fall prevention strategies, audiologists can have a direct impact on reducing one of the leading causes of injury among older adults.
I encourage you to watch this video on our fall prevention innovations featuring Justin R. Burwinkel, Au.D., Senior Research Audiologist at Starkey.
