Further Evaluation and Application of the Wisconsin Age-Related Hearing Impairment Classification System

Conclusions Although the WARHICS was developed from a population data set, it was demonstrated here to be applicable to population, community, and clinical data sets for adults aged 50-89 years. The applicability of the WARHICS or a WARHICS-WHO hybrid to population data sets that included younger adults suggests that this classification system has the potential to be applied even more broadly than just to age-related hearing loss.PMID:33945294 | DOI:10.1044/2021_AJA-20-00207
