This poll is a joint initiative of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and AARP to highlight issues related to hearing among older Americans. The poll outlines the 'state of hearing' among the 50+ generation.
This report is a summary of the overall findings of the poll [PDF], which outlines attitudes towards hearing health, needs and unmet needs that the 50+ population has for hearing health, and knowledge of where to go for help as well as enablers and barriers to getting this help.
This is a supplemental report which contains findings specific to minorities [PDF].
