Hearing loss of gradual onset in older adults affects social connections. Breaking away from the impairment-driven model of hearing healthcare and focusing on a wellness-driven model, this course describes how hearing loss contributes to social disconnection, and how various empowerment strategies can be used clinically to improve the social and emotional well-being of these individuals.
