Comorbidities Linked to Hearing Loss

Over the past decade or so, various studies have identified a link between hearing loss and conditions such as cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, falls among seniors, depression, diabetes, and more. These links are often referred to as comorbidities, which can be defined as the presence of two or more health conditions. They can have long-lasting effects.

NationsBenefits adheres to the rigorous standards of leading healthcare regulatory and oversight agencies, as it relates to outcomes and infrastructure:

  • 1The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is responsible for creating and defining The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), the most extensive set of performance measures that determine which healthcare services are performed and if those services are improving beneficiary health conditions.
  • 2The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid uses a five-star rating system to measure the experiences beneficiaries have with their health plan and healthcare system, known as the Star Rating Program. This system is applied throughout all Medicare and Medicare lines of business with five stars being the highest rating.
