This updated review concluded that the evidence for benefits and harms of screening and treatments for hearing loss was limited and additional research is needed in adults aged 50 years and over in primary care settings. This was a generally well-conducted review and the authors’ conclusions appropriately reflect the limitations of the evidence.
