Age-related hearing loss is a common problem in adults, and it might be starting earlier than we think. Courtney Coburn Glavin, a PhD candidate, at Northwestern University sits down with Dr. Brian Taylor to review her research using DPOAEs to identify hearing loss of early onset in young adults and the clinical implications of her work.

They also discuss the limitations of the pure tone audiogram and intervention strategies for people with subclinical forms of hearing loss.
