Key Points Question Is there an association between hearing loss and physical activity? Findings In this cross-sectional study that included 291 adults aged 60 to 69 years, hearing loss was associated with a worse physical activity profile, including less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, less light-intensity activity, and a more fragmented physical activity pattern.
