Why heart health is a good reason to treat hearing loss

Studies confirm that two-thirds of adults 70 and older have hearing loss. This same age group also risks heart failure, which is the leading cause of hospitalization among older adults in the U.S.

Now, a new research letter has found that 75 percent of adults 70+ with heart failure also have hearing loss. Why is this important to know?
