It believes that up to 250,000 elderly people in England have undiagnosed or unsupported hearing loss.
Action on Hearing Loss said it had found a "high level of undiagnosed hearing loss" among care home residents because staff lacked the training to recognise problems and elderly residents accepted that their failing hearing was part of the ageing process.
We believe that our overall care of our elderly in the UK is just not up to standard and strong action should be taken to remedy this.
