September is hashtag , an important opportunity to highlight the connection between hearing health and fall risk. Studies show that older adults with hearing loss are up to three times more likely to experience a fall, underscoring the need for audiologists to play an active role in prevention.

Starkey Hearing has integrated innovative fall-risk technology into our hearing technology. Our balance assessment tool provides clinicians with objective data to evaluate postural stability over time, supporting clinical decision-making and patient counseling. In addition, our fall detection and alert system leverages built-in sensors to automatically notify selected contacts if a fall occurs—enhancing patient safety and peace of mind.

By combining hearing care with fall prevention strategies, audiologists can have a direct impact on reducing one of the leading causes of injury among older adults.

I encourage you to watch this video on our fall prevention innovations featuring Justin R. Burwinkel, Au.D., Senior Research Audiologist at Starkey.

The sounds emitted are ultrasonic and out of the range of human hearing. Plants are not sentient, however. The sounds they make are produced by physical changes due to their surroundings. Many animals can hear these cries just fine.
