Key Points Question Is hearing loss associated with lower levels of physical activity? Findings In this cross-sectional analysis of 2490 US adults aged 30 to 69 years, worse hearing, as defined by pure-tone audiometry, was associated with lower objectively assessed physical activity levels starting at a 15-dB hearing level threshold.
