As the adult ages, there are predictable changes in social interaction patterns. We also know that adult acquired hearing loss can subtly influence the way a person will choose to use their hearing. In this seminar, we will examine what is known about how the social interaction patterns change over the years, the potential physical and mental health implications of these changes and how hearing loss will complicate these dynamics. Counseling recommendations will be included that reflect an appreciation of the complex interaction of these issues.
