Research links hearing loss with increased fall risk in adults, a growing concern as populations age. A novel mobile application, leveraging hearing aid motion sensor data, supports early identification and intervention, aligning with the CDC’s STEADI initiative. This presentation explores integrating this technology into audiology practices, focusing on its efficacy for autonomous falls risk screening, functional assessments of gait, strength, and balance, and guided balance exercises. We will present data on the application’s reliability, the impact of clinical instruction, and practical strategies to empower clinicians in monitoring and mitigating fall risks effectively.

**Attendees will be able to:**

- Summarize key findings from relevant research studies linking hearing loss to fall risk and their implications for audiology practice
- List the key components of the CDC’s STEADI initiative and their relevance to integrating falls risk technology in audiology practice
- Describe how falls risk management, using hearing aid motion sensor technology, improves patient outcomes in audiology care
