Hearing screening is a proven cost-effective solution to overcome delays in its identification and management yet is not typically recommended by physicians for older adults. Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility and value of hearing screening for older adults at risk for dementia in order to enhance physicians\u2019 awareness of hearing loss and improve access to timely hearing care. Methods: Patients referred to two academic medical clinics for memory disorders were offered hearing screening as part of clinic protocol. Patients with hearing loss were recruited to the study if they consented to a post-appointment telephone interview and chart review. Memory Clinic physicians were surveyed about the usefulness of the screening information and referral of patients with hearing loss to audiology. Results: Hearing loss was reliably detected in Memory Clinic patients with both in-office and online screening tools. Physicians reported that screening enhanced their awareness of hearing loss and increased the referral rate to audiology. Conclusion: Hearing screening in Memory Clinic patients is a useful component of clinic protocol that facilitates timely access to management and addresses an important risk factor for dementia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-215377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,18]],"date-time":"2022-01-18T15:55:58Z","timestamp":1642521358000},"page":"413-424","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Enhancing Clinical Visibility of Hearing Loss in Cognitive Decline"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Marilyn","family":"Reed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baycrest Health Sciences, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morris","family":"Freedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baycrest Health Sciences, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Mt.
