The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently revisited and reviewed the evidence on assessing the balance of benefit and harm for screening older adults for hearing loss and reaffirmed the conclusion from its last review in 2012 that there is "insufficient evidence" to make a recommendation (I statement). The USPSTF report is based on an updated evidence report and systematic review performed by Feltner and colleagues. The group conducted a rigorous review of major databases and found that relatively few studies had reported on the benefits of hearing care intervention and those that had were not generalizable to the general population because they were mostly performed in veteran populations with no subpopulation analyses. Moreover, no studies assessed for evidence of the presence of unintended harms and consequences of hearing screening and intervention. Lastly, the review did conclude that multiple screening methods can accurately detect hearing loss in older adults.
