Abstract
People with learning disabilities are more likely to have a hearing loss than the general population, but are less likely to have their hearing problem diagnosed or managed. Difficulties in access, misconceptions around assessment and a lack of aftercare are all factors in this. Undiagnosed hearing loss can cause significant problems in the life of a PWLD. Without training and education, carers do not have the expertise to detect hearing loss and manage hearing aids adequately. Even basic training could make a difference and a simple checklist to identify possible hearing difficulties is presented. Further research is needed in this area.
