Jacqueline Holton and her husband Lynn of Iowa were always active and social, and even taught line dancing at their local community center. But when Jacqueline started noticing more than just “selective hearing” issues with her husband, she urged him to get a hearing test. Jacqueline decided to get tested too, and as it turned out, her hearing was worse than her husband’s.

As part of Better Hearing Month, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), with support from United Health Foundation (UHF), are partnering to educate older adults about the signs of hearing loss and reasons to get help.
