The aim of the Hearing Health Collaborative (HHC) is promotion of increased early recognition of hearing loss (HL) and associated best practices in management of HL by developing a blueprint for optimizing hearing healthcare in the United States based on best practices. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the prevalence, clinical, financial and societal impact of hearing loss (HL) and how lack of HL friendly health system design leads to Ableism & Ageism; (2) explain how to use a simple HL vital sign in every day clinical practice for all patients; (3) describe the impact of effective, efficient HL screening tools on attitudes and behaviors regarding hearing loss and explain how to implement these at the point of care in different clinical settings; and (4) explain the imperative to develop a meaningful HL staging system that proficiently addressed severity, potential ramifications and associated management steps and discuss sharing this with patients.
