The purpose of this article is to introduce the invited Research Forum on challenges in hearing health care for the oldest older adults, which was presented at the 2014 HEaring Across the Lifespan conference (HEAL 2014).
A brief overview of the three presentations in the special session is provided along with general conclusions.
Hearing health care needs of the oldest older adults are multifactorial and are related to auditory and cognitive declines; social, emotional, and lifestyle changes; and increasing physical disabilities and other comorbidities. Improved clinical outcomes for hearing health require personalized needs assessments by interprofessional teams and shared decision making on treatment options.
本文旨在介绍在2014年全生命周期听力会议（HEAL 2014）上举办的关于最年长者听力保健挑战的特邀研究论坛。
提供了特别会议中三场报告的简要概述以及总体结论。
最年长者的听力保健需求是多因素的，与听觉和认知衰退、社会、情感和生活方式变化以及身体残疾和其他合并症增加有关。改善听力健康的临床结果需要跨专业团队进行个性化需求评估，并就治疗方案进行共同决策。
