These coincidence rates leads researchers to believe that there is a common mechanism linking

Audiometric screenings are general assessments of hearing loss and can be performed in any clinical setting. Hearing tests may initially reveal a sensory pattern and later show the typical conductive loss pattern. Diagnosis is made by looking at family history‚ conducting hearing tests‚ and ruling out any other alternative disorders. Batson and Rizzolo (2017)‚ found that the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly Screening Version‚ a commonly used questionnaire that quantifies hearing handicap
