Cover Story: Adults with hearing loss tend to have poorer health outcomes in a range of domains, including physical health, cognitive functioning, and psychological wellbeing. A growing body of evidence also shows that they are less physically active. Hearing aids are the primary management tool for most hearing loss and also have the potential to improve cognitive and psychological wellbeing. However, there is little evidence on the impact of hearing aids on physical activity. We report on the feasibility of a trial to investigate the impact of hearing aid provision on physical activity. We found that, overall, the study was well received by participants. Modifications to the recruitment strategy and activity tracking procedures are necessary before a full trial is undertaken.
